Which equations show a direct variation between x and y when solved for y? Choose all answers that are correct. A.3/4y=6x B.y=2/5x-2/5 C.y=27x D.2y=x

@iGreen

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

a direct variation is of the sort y=kx where k is some constant

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

check your options and see which one of them is like that

OpenStudy (igreen):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it..but there's one more..

OpenStudy (igreen):

You gotta simplify it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so D?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No.. D simplifies to: \(y = \dfrac{x}{2}\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\dfrac{3}{4}y = 6x\) Divide 3/4 to both sides, or multiply by 4/3. What's 4/3 * 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that gives us: \(y = 8x\) So what are your answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a?

OpenStudy (igreen):

And..?

OpenStudy (igreen):

What else did you say was the answer up there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (igreen):

There are two answers..

OpenStudy (igreen):

You said that the answer was C up there..so our answers are A and C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah my bad lol ok so A and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen it was A,C, and D
