The graph shows a linear relationship between:

w= " water in cups "

and

l= " lemon juice in cups "

The line passes through the origin, so the relationship has the form:

l=mw

where mis the rate of change.

From the graph, a clear point on the line is approximately:

(8│5)

This means when there are 8 cups of water, there are 5 cups of lemon juice.

The rate of change is:

m= " change in lemon juice " / " change in water "

m=5/8

So the relationship is:

l=5/8 w

This means the amount of lemon juice must be:

5/8

of the amount of water.
