The points (3, 24) and (7, 56) represent points of a function where y, the number of photographs, varies directly with x, the number of pages in an album. Which statement describes another point on the graph of this function? (A) A 50-page photo album holds 400 photographs. (B) An 80-page photo album holds 560 photographs. (C) A 100-page photo album holds 8,000 photographs. (D) A 900-page photo album holds 8,400 photographs.

Unit-test?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

y varies directly as x so y = kx where k is a constant from the given values of x and y you can calculate k

OpenStudy (welshfella):

y = kx plugging in values of x and y 24 = 3k and 56 = 7k can you solve these for k?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what number times 3 equals 24?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

are you there?

YEA 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be neg or positive?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

thats correct so we have the relation y = 8x so lets look at the options. If we plug in the value of x fin the first option = that is 50 pages what is the value of y , the number of photos y = 8 * 50 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i was looking at a wrong problem no neg

OpenStudy (welshfella):

If its = 400 then that statement describes another point on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (welshfella):

?
