Answer:

y = 384

Explanation:

Find an equation that fits the graph

When the value varies directly, y = kx.

Find k by substituting x and y in the equation

y = kx

48 = 18k

k = 48/18

k = 8/3

To find the value of y when x= 144 by substituting x for 144

y = 8/3 x

y = 8/3 (144)

y = 1152/3

y = 384

y is 384 when x is 144.
