will fan and medal! Which is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship? y varies directly with x and y = 12 when x = 4. A. y = 3x B. y = x + 8 C. y = 2x + 4 D. y = x – 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, lets eliminate the one we know can't be right, okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, bear with me, I'm trying to follow "the code of conduct" here. So which ones do you know are absolutley wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d and a?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

ummm why not plug in x=4 and y=12 and see if they equal

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

*they are... since you are given x =4 and y =12 . and there are multiple choices so use the given information to see which equation becomes equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are what?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

no I was correcting myself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so im correct about d and a?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

oh geez if I just plug it in... I have three working and 1 not working

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

A through C is working D.. isn't if I just plug it in... hmm..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Usukidoll I think you need to read the question being asked here And i think c would be the way to go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ChiShiki Is this a test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just a question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, no reason.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c am i correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you medal @Usukidoll Najia2000 that way everyone gets a medal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yay everyone got medals.. p.s. I need my eyes checked...stigmatism is getting bad =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope your eyes have nothing wrong then!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

compliment

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I can't see well in the dark that much...and even if I could, it's pixelled or something.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

double vision when reading doesn't work either.

Nnesha (nnesha):

topic *direct variation* you must have to know equation for direct varation \[\huge\rm y =\color{red}{ k}x \] where k is "constant of variation" replace x and y by their values and solve for k

Nnesha (nnesha):

the*

Nnesha (nnesha):

y = k \(\huge\color{green}{\rm times}\) x not addition or subtraction signs

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

uh oh... eeeppp

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

@ChiShiki might outta read this... the answer has to be a if what Nnesha says holds true. k would be 3 if x = 4 and y = 12.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the answer is not C

OpenStudy (triciaal):

what if you did not have choices? Use the response by @Nnesha to review what is meant by direct varation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you Nnesha!

Nnesha (nnesha):

np :-)
