Question

Amy is a dermatologist and she usually has \(12\) appointments in a day. Which of the following is the correct relationship between \(x\)(number of days) and \(y\)(number of appointments)?

Answer 1

\(\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text{x(Number of days)} & \text{y(Number of appointments)} \\\hline 1 & 12\\\hline 2 & 2 \times 12 =24 \\\hline 3 & 3 \times 12 =36 \\\hline \end{array}\)

Thus, the correct equation representing the relation is
\(y = 12x(y=mx, \text{where m=slope/unit rate})\)
