y=90

Explanation:

"given "ypropx

"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant of"
"variation"

rArry=kx

"to find k use the given coordinate point"

"that is "(1/5,6)tox=1/5,y=6

y=kxrArrk=y/x=6/(1/5)=6/1xx5/1=30

"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=30x)color(white)(2/2)|)))

"when x = 3"

y=30xx3=90

rArr(3,y)=(3,90)
