Answer:

y = (5/2)x

Explanation:

A proportional relation can be written as ...

y = kx

Solving for k, you divide by x to get ...

y/x = k

The contant of proportionality is the ratio of y to x. Any pair of x and y will do for computing k. The first pair requires no reduction in the fraction that results:

5/2 = k

So, your equation is ...

y = (5/2)x
