3. Which of the following best represents a causation relationship? a. The cost of a barrel of oil and gas prices
b. The number of iced drinks sold and the number of people at a swimming pool,
c. The number of calories burned and the total number of minutes of exercise.
d. The number of frogs swimming in a stream and number of babies born.

c or d

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the meaning of causation relationship is kinda like cause and effect

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
