Answer: y = 0.25x
Optionally you can replace 0.25 with the fraction 1/4
===================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable y varies directly with x, which means we have the template of y = kx for some constant k.
Plug in x = 8 and y = 2. Then solve for k
y = kx
2 = k*8
8k = 2
k = 2/8
k = 1/4
k = 0.25
Therefore, we go from y = kx to y = 0.25x
-------------
Check:
Plugging in x = 8 should get us to y = 2
y = 0.25x
y = 0.25*8
y = 2
The answer is confirmed.
