Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation y = 5x represents the proportionality of two variables where one variable (y) is always five times the value of the other variable (x). It can also be written as y/x = 5, which is the form of a proportion. Choice A is incorrect because it equates the two variables without indicating the 5:1 ratio. Choice B is incorrect because it indicates that one variable is 5 more than the other, not five times the value. Choice D is incorrect because it indicates that one variable is 5 more than the other, not five times the value.
