y, equalsy=
Solution
To find the equation representing a proportional relationship in a graph for in terms of , let's outline the general process:
-
Proportional Relationship: In a proportional relationship, the equation takes the form: where is the constant of proportionality.
-
Determine : If given a point on the graph (for example, ), we can substitute to solve for :
-
Form the Equation: Once is found, substitute back to write the equation as .
If you can provide specific points from the graph or an image, I can guide you through finding the exact equation.
