Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line representing relation between the euros and dollars is,

E = mD + b

Where 'E' = Number of euros

D = Number of dollars

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line which passes through two points (120, 90) and (400, 300) will be,

m = Β =

m = 0.75

Equation of the line passing through (120, 90),

90 = 0.75(120) + b

b = 90 - 90 = 0

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

E = mD

E ∝ D

Here m = Proportionality constant

And the relation between the numbers of Euros and US dollars is a proportional relationship.
