Question

James is making omelettes for his family. He begins with a dozen eggs and each omelette takes 2 eggs. Which graph shows the number of eggs left based on the number of omelettes made?

A.
Graph shows Number of omelets on y-axis and number of eggs on x-axis. A line touching the points (0, 0) and (12, 6).

B.
Graph shows Number of eggs on y-axis and number of omelets on x-axis. A line touching the points (0, 12) and (6, 0).

C.
Graph shows Number of eggs on y-axis and number of omelets on x-axis. A line touching the points (0, 0) and (6, 12).

D.
Graph shows Number of omelets on y-axis and number of eggs on x-axis. A line touching the points (0, 6) and (12, 0).

Answer 1

The correct graph that shows the number of eggs left based on the number of omelettes made is C. Graph shows Number of eggs on y-axis and number of omelets on x-axis. A line touching the points (0, 0) and (6, 12). This is because for each omelette made, 2 eggs are used. So, if x is the number of omelettes made and y is the number of eggs left, the relationship can be represented by the equation y = 12 - 2x.
