The graph relates the height of the water in a tank y (in inches) to the volume of
the water x (in gallons).
a. Is the relationship proportional? Explain.
b. Write an equation of the line. Interpret
the slope.
c. What is the height of the water in the tank
when the volume is 250 gallons?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
