3,27

1 answer

To find the equation of the proportional relationship through the origin, we need to determine the ratio of the price to the number of footballs for each data point:

For the data point (1, 9):
9/1 = 9

For the data point (2, 18):
18/2 = 9

For the data point (3, 27):
27/3 = 9

Since the ratio is the same for all data points, we can conclude that the equation of the proportional relationship through the origin is:

y = 9x

Where:
y represents the price of the footballs
x represents the number of footballs
