. The graph below shows the amount of money spent on a homeowners insurance bill and the period of time passed. Based on the information in the graph, how much will the Jones family spend on homeowners insurance after 9 months?

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find an equation that represents the proportional relationship between number of months (x) and amount spent (y).

A proportional equation can be represented in the form, y = kx, where,

k = constant of proportionality = y/x

Using a point on the line, (1, 50),

k = 50/1 = 50.

Substitute k = 50 into y = kx

The equation would be:

y = 50x

After 9 months (x), they would pay the following:

Substitute x = 9 into y = 50x

Thus:

y = 50(9)

y = 450
