I'll help you find the line and then you can do the simple algebra. Pick any two points on the plot: (2,6) and (1,3). The slope of this line is given by: (6-3)/(2-1)=3. Since the y-intercept is zero (if you look at the slope and the points you'll see that. This means your line is y=3x. So you have: xy=3 y=3x How do you proceed?

Will you need to find out what x equals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm really bad at graphs. Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I'm not sure what constant they are referring to. But you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns so you can solve x and y.

Okay.
