Math Problem Statement
x = 5y
Solution
The equation x = 5y expresses a relationship between x and y, meaning x is always five times y.
Possible interpretations:
- If solving for y:
- If given a value for x or y:
- If y = 2, then x = 5(2) = 10.
- If x = 15, then y = \frac{15}{5} = 3.
- Graphically:
This represents a straight line passing through the origin with slope 5.
