Consider each of the following relationships. which school shows the greatest rate of change between male and female students?

in school a, the ratio of male students to female students is 4: 1.
in school b, the relationship between the number of male students, y, and the number of female students, x, is given by the equation y=4/3x.
in school c, the number of male and female students are as shown in the table.

female students male students
280 1260

The school C shows the greatest rate of change between male and female students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of female students

y ----> the number of male students

we know that

The ratio of male students to female students is

we have

School A

School B

----> the slope of the linear equation

School C

so

therefore

The school C shows the greatest rate of change between male and female students

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
