Finance the median player salary for the new york
yankees was $1.6 million in 2001 and $5.2 million in
2009. write a linear equation giving the median salary y
in terms of the year x. then use the equation to predict the
median salary in 2017.

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

greater than one
