uuuuuuh?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so the answer is c...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooooooh

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the equation for "y varies directly with x" is y = kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait why c?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and because y = 60 when x = 10, 60 = 10k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it

OpenStudy (aripotta):

when we divide both sides by 10, we get k = 6

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so our answer is y = 6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no problem :)
