Question

A student modify the relationship in the table with the equation x=4y explain the students error write an equation that correctly models the relationship

x 2 4 6 8
y 8 16 24 32

Answer 1

The students error is that they flipped where the x and y should be. so instead of x=4y it should be y=4x. or, the students error is that they forget to make it a fraction. so, it could also be x=1/4y. an equation that models this relationship is y=4x or x=1/4y
