Final Answer:
Part 1:
A. Yes
B. Because the cost increases by the same amount ($6) each time the number of figurines increases by 1.
C. $6 per figurine
D. Yes, because it’s a straight-line relationship with a constant rate.
E. Yes, because y = 6x (total cost = 6 × number of figurines), which is proportional.
Part 2:
A. No
B. Because the total earned does not increase by the same amount each time the number of lawns increases by 1.
C. Not constant — varies between $8, $12, and $10 per lawn.
D. No, because the rate changes.
E. No, because the graph would not be a straight line through the origin — it’s not proportional.
