Problem 1 Got It?

Problem 2 Got It?
Problem 3 Got it? Weight on the moon y varies directly with weight on Earth x. A person who weighs 100 lb on Earth weighs 16.6 lb on the moon. What is an equation that relates weight on earth x and weight on the moon y? What is the graph of this equation?
Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.
