The cost of soup, s, varies directly with the number of cans, c. When c is 4, the cost is $3. Which graph represents the cost of the soup?

A
On a graph, the x-axis shows the number of cans, from 0 to 10, and the y-axis shows the cost of soup, from 0 to 10. A curve opens up to the right and approaches the x-axis and the y-axis. The vertex is around (1, 1).
Option A
B
On a graph, the x-axis shows the number of cans, from 0 to 10, and the y-axis shows the cost of soup, from 0 to 10. A straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, 0), (3, 4), and (6, 8).
Option B
C
On a graph, the x-axis shows the number of cans, from 0 to 10, and the y-axis shows the cost of soup, from 0 to 10. A straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, 0), (4, 3), and (8, 6).
Option C
D
On a graph, the x-axis shows the number of cans, from 0 to 10, and the y-axis shows the cost of soup, from 0 to 10. A curve starts at (0, 0) and opens up to the left. The curve goes through (4, 3) and (5, 6).
