The points on this graph represent a relationship between x- and y-values. Which statement about the relationship is true? Line graph where line does not start at (0, 0) but further up y axis. 4 points are plotted in a line on graph.
CLEAR CHECK

It cannot be proportional because the straight line through the points does not go through the origin.

It cannot be proportional because no values are given.

It must be proportional because each time x increases by 3 units, y increases by 1 unit.

It must be proportional because the points lie in a straight line.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶

step-by-step explanation:

population of los angeles = 3.79 × 10⁶

population of california = 9.84 × population of los angeles

                                        = 9.84 × 3.79 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.2936 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.29 × 10⁶

∴ in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶
