a. Is the relationship between number of towers and number of customers proportional? Explain.
Choose the correct answer below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
OA. No. The ratios of towers to customers are not all equivalent.
B. Yes. The ratios of towers to customers (thousands) are all equivalent to a unit rate of

The correct option is;

B. Yes. The ratios of towers to customers (thousands) are all equivalent to a unit rate of 52 Towers/(Thousand customers)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data can be presented as follows;

Cell Phone Towers

Customer (thousands)       Towers

1) 5.25                                      273

2) 6.25                                     325

3) 7.25                                     377

4) 9.25                                     481

From the given data, we have the ratio Towers/Customer (thousands) given as follows;

For 1), we have;

273 Towers/(5.25 thousands customers) = 52 Towers/(Thousand customer)

For 2), we have;

325 Towers/(6.25 thousands customers) = 52 Towers/(Thousand customer)

For 3), we have;

377 Towers/(7.25 thousands customers) = 52 Towers/(Thousand customer)

For 4), we have;

481 Towers/(9.25 thousands customers) = 52 Towers/(Thousand customer)

Therefore, the ratios of towers to customers (thousands) all have the same equivalent unit rate of 52 Towers/(thousand customers).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
