This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as p∝q where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality. The correct option is B.
What is the directly proportional and inversely proportional relationship?
Let there are two variables p and q
Then, p and q are said to be directly proportional to each other if
p = kq
where k is some constant number called the constant of proportionality.
This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as p∝q where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality.
In a directly proportional relationship, increasing one variable will increase another.
Now let m and n be two variables.
Then m and n are said to be inversely proportional to each other if
[tex]m = \dfrac{c}{n} \\\\ \text{or} \\\\ n = \dfrac{c}{m}[/tex]
(both are equal)
where c is a constant number called the constant of proportionality.
This inversely proportional relationship is denoted by
[tex]m \propto \dfrac{1}{n} \\\\ \text{or} \\\\n \propto \dfrac{1}{m}[/tex]
As visible, increasing one variable will decrease the other variable if both are inversely proportional.
Since the graph of the equation is a line, therefore, it can be concluded that the relationship is linear as a result y varies directly with x.
Therefore we can write the relationship as,
y ∝ x
y = k x
The line goes through the point (-2,3), thus, substitute the points in the equation formed above,
3 = k × (-2)
k = -3/2
Now, substitute the value of k in the equation,
y = -(3/2)x
Hence, the correct option is B.
