The ratio table below shows the number of eggs per omelet. omelets number of eggs number of omelets 18 ? 9 3 6 2 3 1 how many omelets can be made with 18 eggs

For this case we have the following table:
 Number of eggs Number of omelets
 18   ?
 9     3
 6     2
 3     1
 We observe that the function is linear.
 The equation of the line is:
 y-yo = m (x-xo)
 Where,
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = (6-3) / (2-1)
 m = (3) / (1)
 m = 3
 (xo, yo) = (1, 3)
 Substituting:
 y-3 = 3 (x-1)
 Rewriting:
 y = 3x - 3 + 3
 y = 3x
 For 18 eggs we have:
 18 = 3x
 Clearing x:
 x = 18/3
 x = 6
  
 you can make 6 omelets with 18 eggs
