The table shows a proportional relationship.

x y
0 0
2 9
4 18
6 27

Complete the equation that represents the table.

Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. y =___x

Respuesta :

y=4.5x because 0/4.5=0, 9/2=4.5 18/4=4.5, and 27/6=4.5

Answer:

[tex]y=4.5x[/tex]

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 [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

Find the value of the constant of proportionality in the table

For [tex]x=2, y=9[/tex] ------>[tex]k=9/2=4.5[/tex]  

For [tex]x=4, y=18[/tex] ------>[tex]k=18/4=4.5[/tex]  

For [tex]x=6, y=27[/tex] ------>[tex]k=27/6=4.5[/tex]

therefore

the equation of the direct variation is equal to

[tex]y=4.5x[/tex]
