*PLS HELP*

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x is directly proportional to y. This can be written as,

x ∝ y

In terms of constant, the proportionality can be written as,

x = ry

Where r is the constant. The table has a set of values for x and y. Let's substitute the values in the first row into the equation with the constant.

10 = r × 4

r = $\frac{10}{4}$

r = 2.5

Lets check with the second row.

12.5 = r × 5

r = $\frac{12.5}{5}$

r = 2.5

Since both sets of values have the same answer for the constant, this means that the third row of values should probably have the same constant.

r = 2.5
