No, Dennis compared the values in the row for y. The values of y are are found by multiplying x by 10. The correct equation is y = 10x

Here, we want to check if the equation written correctly represent the relatinship shown in the table

As, we can see from testing the initial value of 5 and 50, we can see that the given equation does not describe the relationship between x and y on the table

The correct answer is that;

The values of y are found by multiplying the x by 10.

The correct equation is;


y\text{ = 10x}
