Solution

For this problem we need to remember that the constant of proportionality is given by:

k= y/x

And if we select the last point of the graph we can see that x= 6, y= 15 and replacing we got:

k= 15/6

The greatest common factor between 15 and 6 is GCF=3

15/3= 5

6/3=2

And then our answer is 5/2 simplified

And our solution for this case would be 5/2=2.5
