when the y- axis increases, the x- axis increases at a constant rate
when the y axis increases, the x-axis decreases
when the y- axis increases, the x- axis increases at a none constant rate
when the x-axis increases, the y-axis decreases

Answer 1

To determine the relationship between the x-axis (distance) and the y-axis (fare in $) in the described graph, we need to analyze how fare changes with distance.

Since you mentioned "counts by 5's. starts at 5 and it ends at 20," it implies that fare increases in increments of $5 starting at $5 and reaching $20.

Typically, in a fare versus distance graph, fare would increase with distance due to a pricing model based on distance traveled.

Given this reasoning, the relationship between the variables can be interpreted as:

• "when the x-axis increases, the y-axis increases at a constant rate."

This means that as the distance (x-axis) increases, the fare (y-axis) also increases in a consistent manner (presumably at regular intervals, such as every 5 units of distance).

If other relationships apply (e.g., a decrease in fare with increased distance), please clarify any additional details regarding the context or shape of the graph.
