#y=90#

Explanation:

#"given "ypropx#

#"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant of"#
#"variation"#

#rArry=kx#

#"to find k use the given coordinate point"#

#"that is "(1/5,6)tox=1/5,y=6#

#y=kxrArrk=y/x=6/(1/5)=6/1xx5/1=30#

#"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=30x)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"when x = 3"#

#y=30xx3=90#

#rArr(3,y)=(3,90)#
