Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A directly proportional relationship satisfies a proportion or two equal ratios. You can create a ratio between x and y coordinates written as y/x.

So when y = 32 and x= 20, the ratio is 32/20. If y = 40, what is x? This is the ratio 40/x. Set them equal in a proportion. Then cross multiply to solve for x.

[tex]\frac{32}{20} = \frac{40}{x}[/tex]

32(x) = 20(40)

32x = 800

x = 25
