You can put this solution on YOUR website!

take a look at ordered pairs
if x=1 then y=3.75
if x=2 then y=7.5 which is actually 2%2A3.75
if x=3 then y=11.25 which is actually 3%2A3.75
if x=4 then y=15 which is actually 4%2A3.75

if x=5 then y=18.75 which is actually 5%2A3.75
so, the relationship between x and y is:
y=3.75x
see it on a graph:
