Which linear equation represents a proportional relationship between the values of x and the values of y?

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)

i don't even know how to read that, ill try to do it if you translate it into english.
