Question

Five yards of material is needed to make

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-coordinate would be 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

y ----->material needed in yards

x ----> number of curtains

we know that

For y=5, x=2

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=y/x$

substitute the given values of x and y

$k=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

The linear equation is equal to

$y=2.5x$

If the x-coordinate was 7

then

substitute in the equation x=7 and solve for y

$y=2.5(7)$

$y=17.5$

therefore

The y-coordinate would be 17.5
