Answer

Finally, solve for k by dividing both sides of the equation by 25, we get k=1.

Steps

Step 1 :First, substitute x=5 and y=25 into the equation y=kx2, we get 25=k(5)2.

Step 2 :Next, simplify the right hand side to get 25=25k.

Step 3 :Finally, solve for k by dividing both sides of the equation by 25, we get k=1.
