The variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 7 when x = 2. what is the value of y when x = 5? the variables y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 7 when x = 2. what is the value of x when y = 21? which equation represents a proportional relationship? y=−x y=−5(x+1) y = 5x + 1 y=15x

y= 35/2  when x=5

x=6 when y =21

Proportinal relatiionships:  y=−x ,  y=15x

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y= kx

If y=7 and x=2, we can solve for k

7 =k*2

Divide by 2

7/2 =k

y =7/2 x

Now if x=5

y =7/2 * 5

y =35/2

Now if y=21

21 =7/2 * x

Multiply by 2/7

21 * 2/7 = 7/2 * 2/7 x

6 =x

Which equation represents a proportional relationship?

y=−x

YES  k = -1   Some people debate about having a negative constant, but everything I have read and taught says you can have a negative constant.

y=−5(x+1)

This does not go through the origin so no

if x=0  y = -5

y = 5x + 1

if x = 0 y =1   so no

y=15x

YES  k = 15

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
