Mia wrote an equation to approximate the total number of calories in the strawberries she was eating. She used the
equation y = 5.5x, where y represents the total number of calories and x represents the number of strawberries she was
eating. Which graph represents this information?

The given function is

This is a linear function, where represents the total numbers of calories and represents the number of strawberries she was eating.

According to the given function, each strawberry has 5.5 calories.

It's important to notice that the graph of this function is a straight line which passes through the origin of the coordinate system, because it doesn't have a constant term.

The image attached shows the graph of the given function.

Therefore, the right graph is the one that intersects the origin of the coordinate system.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
