If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 50 when x = –10, then what is f(x) when x = 15? –150 –75 –30 –5

Nnesha (nnesha):

what you think ?? try to solve it first ;) :) :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

i now u can do it but if you have any question "feel free" to ask :-)

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

do i need an eqation for this one?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes question is varies "directly" so equation for direct variation use that and find k first

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\large\rm y = kx\] and use first x and f(x) values to find k

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

50 = k-10

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

that = -5

Nnesha (nnesha):

k(-10) yes otherwise is like k is subtracting by -10

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that is right

Nnesha (nnesha):

now use that same equation replace k by -5 and use 2nd x value that they gave you to find y

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

|dw:1424323445685:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes which is equal to ?? y = ?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

|dw:1424323445685:dw|

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

that = -75

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

so is it the second one?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes
