On a recent day 8 euros were worth $9 and 24 euros were worth $27 write an equation of the form y equals kx to show the relationship between the number of euros and the value in dollars.

y=8x/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 8 euros were worth $9 and

24 euros were worth $27.

Let y represent the number of Euros and x no of dollars.

Given that the relation is of the form y = kx+C

When x=0 y = 0,

i. e. C = 0

Hence equation is of the form y = kx

Substitute x=8 and y = 9

We get 9 = 8k

Or k = 8/9

Hence relation is y=8x/9 is the relation between x and y.

WE can verify this for 27 dollars worth 24 euros.

24 = 8/9 (27) is true.

Thus equation is verified.
