If we see the data of experiment 1, 2 and three...there is the initial concentration of both the reactants are .031 and .015M and compare these values with second experiemnt where first reactant concentration is same but the second one is double but time is half so the reaction rate = 1.3 x 10-5 M/s......now compare the values of experiemtnt 1 and 3..........here first reactant concentration is double but the second one remains same and the time is almost same as the second experiment also the rate is almost equal to the second experiement.

With this description we see that the rate is depending on concentrations of both the reactant and you also have shown the value of x = 1 and y = 1 so why the rate constants unit has been used s-1. because this unit is of first order reaction and the given reaction and the data it should be more than 1 or should be 2. may be second order or third order. all calculations and units should be checked from strating again.
