Answer:

[tex]y=3x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of kids in a group

y ----> the total number of caramel chews Erica gives to that group

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

take a ordered pair from the data in the table and determine the value of k

For x=2, y=6 ----> [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] ----> [tex]k=\frac{6}{2}=3\ caramels/kid[/tex]

therefore

[tex]y=3x[/tex]
