Question

What equation represents the proportional relationship displayed in the table?

Answer 1

Hey there!

To find the slope, we can use the slope formula rise over run. The rise is the change in y, and the run is the change in x.

Let's use the first 2 values for x and y.

The change in y is positive 10, and the change in x is positive 2.

10 ÷ 2 = 5

This means the slope of the equation is 5.

Since the relationship is proportional, there is no y-intercept.

The equation is y = 5x.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The equation that best represents the data that is in the table is y = 5x. You can corroborate it by substituting the x values of the table and verifying that you get the "y" values
