Answer:
The value of y is
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 or
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
In this problem the line passes through the origin
therefore
Is a proportional variation
Find the value of k
with the point
The equation is equal to
so
For
substitute
The initial value of the graph is where . Thus, in this case, the initial value is 12.
The rate of change of the graph is essentially the slope of the graph. In this case, we can use the slope formula:
and
are points on the graph
Let's use two points from the chart to find the slope:
In this case, the rate of change of the graph is 9.
