When Sara was 5 she told $50 in a savings account. When she turned 6, her aunt gave her 100$ every year for her birthday. Is this proportional relationship?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The the age of Sarah be x and the amount she has be y:

When Sarah was 5 and her amount is $50

When x1 = 5, y1 = $50

Also when Sarah was 6, her amount is $100

When x2 = 6, y2 = $100

Find the slope which is also the constant of proportionality

x= ky

k = y2-y1/x2-x1

k = 100-50/6-5

k = 50/1

k = 50

Substitute the value of k in the formula:

x = 50y

This means that Sarah's age is directly proportional to the amount she have. Hence, it can be concluded that it is a direct relationship
