write an apropriate direct variation equation if y=30 when x=-10 A. y=-300x B. y=300x C. y=-3x D. y=3x

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

C) y = -3(-10) = 30

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

OK. the general form of direct varaiation is: \(y=kx\) They are giving you the y and the x and asking you to solve for k.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@blurbendy their id no 30

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

i just put -10 in for x in C y = -3x

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Ignore the =30 part of his answer. He showed how it related back to the problem.

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

and if you do that, you get 30

oh alright:)
