Percy is plotting points on a graph. The ratio of y -value to x -value is 2 to 3 for each point. What will be the x -value of a point with a y -value of 18 ?

Respuesta :

27 because the unit rate is 2/3, and 2/3 of 27 is 18

Answer:

x= 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy is plotting points on a graph.

The ratio of y -value to x -value is 2 to 3 for each point

Ratio of y to x is 2 to 3

[tex]\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Given y value is 18

lets find out x

[tex]\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Plug in 18 for y

[tex]\frac{18}{x} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Cross multiply it

3*18 = 2x

54= 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides

x= 27
