Find the slope of the line containing the points in the table below.

substitute,

circle 1 = 5

circle 2 = 20

circle 3 = 44

in this case no matter how you add, you will always get a perfect square..

hence proved

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
