find an equation of variation where y varies directly as x and y=28 when x=7,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm...

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Well the first part says "y varies directly as x"

OpenStudy (eyust707):

This means: \[y = kx\] Where "k" is some constant number

OpenStudy (eyust707):

To find k, plug 28 in for y and 7 in for x, then solve for k.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer is coming up as 4 and that is not right.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

k = 4 is right...now substitute this 4 into the k of y = kx what do you get?
