The correct answer is:

y = 600 * 3

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is "y = 600x". This is because direct variation equations take the form of "y = kx", where "x" represents the independent variable (in this case, the number of hours) and "y" represents the dependent variable (in this case, the number of miles traveled). The constant of proportionality, "k", represents the rate at which the variables are directly related. In this case, since the jet is traveling at a rate of 600 mph, the constant of proportionality is 600. Therefore, the equation is "y = 600x". To find the number of miles the jet travels in 3 hours, you simply substitute the value of "x" (3) into the equation: "y = 600(3)". This simplifies to "y = 1800", indicating that the jet travels 1800 miles in 3 hours.
