so if y varies directly as x \(\Rightarrow y = kx\)
direct variation is "directly" across the equal sign
if y varies inversely as x \(\Rightarrow y = \Large{\frac{k}{x}}\)
x is in the "inverse" position of y.
does this make sense?

Kinda can you still help me?

with?

this problem I'm still confused

okay, look at the first choice. form this you should be able to identify what type of variation and the constant, k.
can you determine these?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
"from" not "form"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be the third answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because it's a fraction

no, it has to do with the position of the other variable.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=7x is the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what kind of variation is this: \(y=\Large{\frac{2}{3}}\normalsize{x}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your choice was correct but your reasoning was incorrect.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is choice "C" but because the x is on the bottom, in the "inverse" position.
