Question


If the weight on the Moon is 5 lb, then the weight on the Earth is ___________ lb

  1. 10
  2. 15
  3. 30
  4. 25

hintHint:

The defining property of a linear function is that it has a constant rate of change.

The correct answer is: 30


    Here the graph is a linear graph with a constant rate of change i.e. The weights on Earth and Moon are in the ratio of 6:1 and will not change at different intervals.
    Weight on Moon = 5lbs
    Earth to Moon ratio = 6 over 1 = fraction numerator 6 cross times 5 over denominator 1 cross times 5 end fraction equals space 30 over 5
    Thus the weight on Earth will be 30lbs.
