Answer:

z = 1.75xy

Explanation:

Given z varies jointly as x and y then the equation relating them is

z = kxy ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition z = 7 when x = 2 and y = 2, then

7 = k × 2 × 2 = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

1.75 = k

z = 1.75xy ← equation of variation
