Explanation:
"the initial statement is " ypropx
"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant of"
"variation"
rArry=kx
"to find k use the given condition"
y=0.5" when "x=2
y=kxrArrk=y/x=0.5/2=0.25
"the equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=0.25x)color(white)(2/2)|)))
