*Will give medal!* Which is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship? y varies directly with x and y = 10 when x = 2. A. y = x – 8 B. y = x + 8 C. y = 5x D. y = 2x + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the one without a \(+whatever\) at the end

@satellite73 what do you mean? lol just say the letter. And if you could explain how you got the answer that would be helpful.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since x = 2, 5x = 10. Since y = 10, Then the answer is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that isn't a full explanation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rule for a direct variation is y=kx Plug in y=10 and x=2 in the equation and you'll get k=5 Replug the value of k in y=kx and you will get y=5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K is the constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that made more sense
