Question

The table shows a proportional relationship.

x 1 2 3
y 16 32 48


Write an equation that represents the proportional relationship.
y = 16x
y = 2x
y equals 1 over 16 times x
y equals 1 over 2 times x

Answer 1

y=16x

Explanation:

(1, 16) (2, 32) (3, 48)

If you divide them all you will get the same answer

`(16)/(1) =16`

`(32)/(2) =16`

`(48)/(3) =16`

So, the correct equation is y=16x
