Answer 1

y doesn't vary directly with x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if y varies directly with x, we need to calcula the value of y over x for every row in the table. So:

x y y/x

17 11 11/17 = 0.647

8 13 13/8 = 1.625

9 15 15/9 = 1.667

10 17 17/10 = 1.7

Since the value of y/x is different for every row, y doesn't vary directly with x
