Question

determine whether y varies directly with x. If so find a constant variation k.
-6y=-5x

Answer 1

First you want to change \(\sf -6y=-5x\) tof it the form of direct variation, \(\sf y=kx\).

Divide both sides of your function by \(\sf -6\). You get \(\sf y=\dfrac{5}{6}x\)

Does \(\sf y=\dfrac{5}{6}x\) look similar to \(\sf y=kx\)?
