Answer:

A

Explanation:

height (y-axis) = constant × width (x-axis)

let's look at the point coordinates.

remember, an ordered pair of point coordinates consists of an x value and an associated (typically calculated by a function) y value.

we see that all y values are half of the x values (3 and 1.5, 2 and 1, 7 and 3.5, 8 and 4).

so, the constant in our equation is responsible for returning half of the x value back as the y value.

what constant factor turns a number in half ?

x × c = x/2

c = 1/2

and so, A is the right answer.
