Answer 8

thats the whole question

Answer 9

Can you send me a picture of the whole question?

Answer 10

Direct variation means that the equation will be of the form:

y = k*x where k is the constant of variation

Replace y be 6 and x by 4 and solve the equation for k.

Answer 11

OH, yeah @Directrix is right. Oops

Answer 12

so what 1.5? it needs to be a fraction

Answer 13

y = k*x

6 = k* 4

Solve for k @MysticFury
