Write out the slope formula:

m = (change in y) / (change in x)

Here,

m = n-(-9) / (-6-(-2)) = (n+9 / (-4)

Now set this slope equal to -1 and solve the resulting equation for n:

(n+9) / (-4) = - 1, or (n+9) / 4 = 1, or n+9 = 4. Then n = -5.

I need help with this math question :(

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

k = 5,

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is proportional to x,

y ∝ x

Then the equation will be

y = kx

Her k = proportionality constant.

Now we choose a point from the given table.

Let the point is (2, 10).

By putting the values of x and y in the equation,

10 = 2×k

k = $\frac{10}{2}$

k = 5

This will be true for any point we choose from the table.

And the equation will be y = 5x
