Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

1). Amount drivers are paid per mile = $\frac{\text{Total amount paid}}{\text{Distance traveled}}$

                                                            = $\frac{40}{100}$

                                                            = $0.40 per mile

   This amount per mile is same at every point of the graph.

   Therefore, the amount drivers are paid per mile is the same for each distance, so the relationship is proportional.

2). Let the relation between the distance traveled (x) and amount paid (y) is,

   y = kx

   k = $\frac{y}{x}$

   k = $\frac{40}{100}$

   k = $0.40
