Question

Which equation represents the ordered pairs in the table? Х у 6 2 12 4 18 6

Answer 1

From the table, we have the following:

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, we have that:

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow y=\frac{x}{3}\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{3}x$

We obtain this result if we multiply both sides of the equation by x.

Therefore, the result is:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$

The answer is the third option.
