Answer:

C. The equation x = 50y represents this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine each statement given and determine if it is correct or not correct based in the information given to in the graph.

Statement A: "The point (2, 100) means that there are 100 pounds of wild rice in 2 bags."

✅This is CORRECT because from the graph, on the x-axis (number of bags), when x = 2, y on the y-axis (pounds of wild rice) is 100.

Statement B: "The data represents a proportional relationship".

✅This is CORRECT because a graph that shows a proportional relationship between x and y, has a line that cuts through the point of origin (0, 0).

Statement C: "The equation x = 50y represents this situation".

❌This is NOT CORRECT. The equation does not represent a proportional relationship between x and y. The correct equation should be y = 50x. Where 50 is the constant of proportionality. That is y/x.

Statement D: "The constant of proportionality is 50."

✅this is CORRECT because constant of proportionality = y/x = 100/2 = 50.
