Pe for salad dressing calls for 3 tablespoons of oil for every 2 tablespoons of vinegar. The line represents the relationship between the amount of oil and the amount of vinegar needed to make salad dressing according to this recipe. The point (1,1.5) is on the line. A line is graphed in a coordinate plane. The line begins at the origin. The line moves steadily upward and to the right passing through the point with coordinates 1 comma 1 point 5.
Label the axes appropriately. Which axis should be labeled with oil? Which axis should be labeled with vinegar?
Write an equation (use x and y as your variables) that represents the proportional relationship between oil and vinegar. Indicate the meaning of each variable.
