Y varies directly with X and has a constant rate of change of 6. When the value of Y is 11, then the value of X could be _____. equal to zero less than 2 equal to 6 greater than 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is direct variation, the formula is y=kx where k is the constant rate and x changes by the constant to = y. All you have to do is sub the numbers into the equation, try it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wahts the equation?/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=kx you use that for direct variation problems. Do you know what to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=6 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nvm y=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes y=11 the question says that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 6=kx what would you do now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your given k right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k = constant rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so six

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you solve x now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the equation 6=6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 11 not 6 remember in the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6=11x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No y = 11, and k= 6. 11=6x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

un ok 11=6x how culd x equal anyof those im not understanding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rate of change or k, multiplied by x will equal to y. k is just gradient or m,know that right?|dw:1376657210566:dw|
