What is the direct variation equation if y varies directly with x and y = –5 when x = –15? A.y=-10x B.y=-3x C.y=3x D.y=1/3x

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm y = kx \] equation for direct variation replace x and y by their values then solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that if y=kx then solve what

Nnesha (nnesha):

given is x and y values so you have to solve for k

Nnesha (nnesha):

replace x and y by their values so then solve for k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mitilply right

Nnesha (nnesha):

it depends on k if number is multiplying by k then to solve for k you should divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's d. y=1/3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d

Nnesha (nnesha):

:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes or no in a nice way

Nnesha (nnesha):

:-) = that's right isn't a nice way
