Answer:

[tex]y = 4x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x = 44[/tex]

[tex]y = 176[/tex]

Required

Determine the relationship between x and y

First, we calculate the unit rate, using:

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Where k is the unit rate.

Substitute 176 for y and 44 for y

[tex]176 = k * 44[/tex]

Divide both sides by 44

[tex]\frac{176}{44} = \frac{44*k}{44}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{176}{44} = k[/tex]

[tex]4 = k[/tex]

[tex]k = 4[/tex]

Substitute 4 for k in [tex]y = kx[/tex]

[tex]y = 4x[/tex]

Hence, the relationship between x and y is: [tex]y = 4x[/tex]
