Complete the table if the value of y is directly proportional to the value of x:

X: 15, (fill), 4, (fill), 1,2
Y: (fill), 8, 1,6, 20, (fill)

The filled table is

x : 15 2 4 5 12

y : 60 8 16 20 48

How the missing values in the table is calculated.

Given that

X: 15, (fill), 4, (fill), 12

Y: (fill), 8, 16, 20, (fill)

If x is directly y it shows that there ratio is constant

y ∝ x

y = kx

where

k is constant of proportionality

From the table

when x = 4, y = 16

therefore,

k = 16/4 = 4

The relation between y and x is

y = 4x.

when x = 15

y = 4(15) = 60

When y = 8

x = y/4 = 8/4 = 2

when y = 20

x = 20/4 = 5

when x = 12

y = 4(12) = 48

The filled table is

x : 15 2 4 5 12

y : 60 8 16 20 48
