@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

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:
\(y = \dfrac{x}{2}\)

\(\dfrac{3}{4}y = 6x\)
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..?
