Question

If the relationship is a proportional relationship weite an equation that where x represents the number of adults and y represents the number of students

Answer 1

y = kx

Explanation:

In proportional relationships, the value of one variable increases as the other increases or decreases as the other decreases. It is denoted mathematically as y ∝ x where x and y are the variables. It follows that

y = kx where k is the proportionality constant.

So in the relationship where x represents the number of adults, and y represents the number of students,

y ∝ x and y = kx

y = kx is the required equation
