Answer: 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y = rx, we can divide both sides by x to isolate r.

r = y/x

Then we'll plug in the values from the table

  • r = y/x = 1.4/14 = 0.1 for row one
  • r = y/x = 1.6/16 = 0.1 for row two
  • r = y/x = 2.1/21 = 0.1 for row three

You only need to show your work for one row.
