"a ∝ b" means "a is proportional to b", which in turn means there is some constant k such that
a = kb
We're given that a = 18 and b = 3, so that
18 = 3k ⇒ k = 6
Then when b = 5, we would have
a = 6 × 5 = 30
x-intercept = (15, 0) y-intercept = (0, 3)
slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (0 - 3)/(15 - 0) = -3/15 = -1/5
Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is one of the given points
y - 0 = (-1/5)(x - 15)
-5y = x - 15
x + 5y = 15
Answer: x + 5y = 15
216 as when 2 there is 6x6 but when there’s 3 it’s 6x6x6 which is 216
The answer is 25 I think sorry if it’s wrong :)
