y=4x

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=28" when "x=7

y=kxrArrk=y/x=28/7=4

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=4x)color(white)(2/2)|)))
