Write the direct linear variation equation for the relationship: y varies directly with x and y = 4 when x = 12. A. y = x – 8 B. y = 3x C. y = x + 8 D. y = 1/3x

it's either A. or D.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

The equation being y=kx. Plug in the values you have and solve for k.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Solve: \(4=12k\) for k, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k = 1/3?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Right! Now plug k into \(y=kx\) and you get..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D!

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup, nice job :)
