Which is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship? y varies directly with x and y = 12 when x = 4. y = 2x + 4 y = 3x y = x + 8 y = x – 8

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

@Nnesha Would it be the 3rd one, y = x + 8?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm what's the equation for direct variation ??

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

f(x) = kx

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes there is not any + or negative sign

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

ohhh thats true

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\large\rm y = kx \] now replace x and y by their values then solve for k

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

12 = k4?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes now solve for k

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

would it be 3?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right

Nnesha (nnesha):

so y = kx replace k by its value

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

y = 3x

Nnesha (nnesha):

good to go!

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

Thank you so much!!!!
