Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Then find the value of y when x=7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = kx

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

y=15 when x=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 = k(6) i think u should know it from now

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

it's 2.5

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

the next one is y=-4 when x=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's great :D Now that you have k, use this equation y = 2.5x and put x = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.5...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, find k again, but this time, with the new values for y and x :) y = kx

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

17.5

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):
