Question 647451: A juice bottling machine i lls 1200 bottles per minute.
• Graph the number of bottles i lled versus the time (in minutes) the machine runs.
• Is this model a direct variation? If so, what is the constant of variation?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
in this problem, all it's asking is for you to graph the problem
if it graphs y=1200x%28bottles%2Fmin%29
then that means in one minute, you have 1200 bottles which is where you get (1,1200)
b%2Fc it already tells you that time is the x-axis
you continue adding 1200 every minute so for 2+minutes you have (2,2400)
then once you graph a few dots and connect them, you see you have a linear function, which is direct variation
if you are adding 1200 every minute, then the constant of variation is 1200
