The area of an airplane's wings is related to the airplane's lifting force, which holds the
airplane in the air. the table below lists several wing areas and the corresponding
lifting forces.

the ratio of lifting force to area is equivalent for all pairs in the table. what are the
values of x and y?
a x = 375 square feet and y = 7,500 pounds
b x = 335 square feet and y = 7,500 pounds
c x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds
d x = 335 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds
