Question

In a direct variation, y=84.7 when x=77. Write a direct variation equation that shows the relationship between x and y.

HELP!

Answer 1

Explanation:

In a direct variation, y and x are directly proportional to each other, so we can write:

y = kx

where k is a constant of variation.

To find k, we can use the given values of x and y:

y = kx

84.7 = k(77)

Solving for k:

k = 84.7/77

k = 1.0994

So the direct variation equation that shows the relationship between x and y is:

y = 1.0994x
