y 0 24 42 48
Enter your answer in the box to complete the equation.
y = x

Respuesta :

The proportional relationship increases by 6

Answer: [tex]y=6x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that shows directly proportional relationship between the two variables x and y is given by :-

[tex]y=kx[/tex]     (1)

Using table , first substitute y=24 for x=4

[tex]24=k(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ k= \dfrac{24}{4}=6\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=6[/tex]

We can check further

For y=7 for x=42

[tex]42=k(7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ k= \dfrac{42}{7}=6\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=6[/tex]

Substitute the value of k in the equation (1) , we get the equation represents the proportional relationship displayed in the table :-

[tex]y=6x[/tex]  

Hence, the correct answer is [tex]y=6x[/tex]
