Please help me fast, I'm so frustrated right now, and want to get this over with. Please. I will give brainliest. Thank you!

The points (3, 24) and (7, 56) represent points of a function where y, the number of photographs, varies directly with x, the number of pages in an album. Which statement describes another point on the graph of this function?

A 50-page photo album holds 400 photographs.

An 80-page photo album holds 560 photographs.

A 100-page photo album holds 8,000 photographs.

A 900-page photo album holds 8,400 photographs.

Respuesta :

A 50 page photo album holds 400 photographs.

24÷3=8
56÷7=8
400÷50=8

When you divide them (3,24) and (7,56) equals 8

400÷50 also equals 8

You jsut have to see how their similar, and then you'll get the answer. :)

Answer:

Option A is correct

A 50-page photo album holds 400 photographs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation states that:

[tex]y \propto x[/tex]

then equation is in the form of:

y = kx where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

y the number of photographs, varies directly with x, the number of pages in an album

By above definition we have;

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Where, k is the constant of variation.

Now substitute any given point i.e (7, 56) to solve for k.,

56 = 7k

Divide both sides by 7 we have;

[tex]8 = k[/tex]

or

k =  8

We get an equation:

[tex]y = 8x[/tex]               ....[1]

Substitute x = 50 in [1] we have;

[tex]y = 8(50) = 400[/tex]

⇒y = 400

Therefore, the statement describes another point on the graph of this function is:

A 50-page photo album holds 400 photographs.
