Please help will fan and medal!!! Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k. x y 4 6.4 7 11.2 10 16 13 20.8

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm y=kx\] equation for direct variation and k is constant of variation so pick any (x,y) and plug them into the equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

make sense ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that helped! im just trying to figure out the last part. find the constant variation of k and write an equation.. @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so k is what ? did you solve that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1.6 right??

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that's right now replace k with 1.6 in this equation y=kx that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= 1.6x like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right :=)
