Please help! Simple math question

The equation needs to use x, y, and an =.

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

y=4.5x

We can solve for this by finding the slope of the data using the following formula...


`slope= ( y_(2) -y_(1) )/( x_(2)- x_(1) ) = (36-9)/(8-2) = (27)/(6) =4.5`

So y is 4.5 times greater than x

y=4.5x
