Question 118

A table contains the pairs (3, 12), (7, 28), and (11, 44). Which additional pair keeps y directly proportional to x?

  1. (9, 34)
  2. (9, 36)Correct answer
  3. (12, 46)
  4. (14, 52)

Explanation

Every existing pair has y divided by x equal to 4, and 36 divided by 9 is also 4, so the added pair preserves the relationship. The pair 9 to 34 is tempting because both values are close, but its quotient is not 4.
