Darla has a recipe for pot roast. There is a proportional relationship between the weight (in pounds) of the pot roast, x, and the total cooking time (in hours), y. Her recipe says that a 6-pound pot roast should take 3 hours to cook.

The equation for the relationship between x and y is Response area = Response areaResponse area
If Darla's pot roast weighs Response area pounds, it will take Response area hours to cook.

The equation for the relationship between x and y is y = (3/6)x.

If Darla's pot roast weighs x pounds, it will take y hours to cook.
