Question

Which function represents the relationship between x and y when y=16/5 and x=20 ​

Answer 1

y = (4/25)x

Explanation:

We are given;

y = 16/5 and x = 20

Now if y varies directly with x, then we can say;

y = mx

Where m is constant of proportionality

This means that;

16/5 = 20m

Divide both sides by 20 to get;

(16/5) × 1/20 = m

16/100 = m

m = 4/25

Thus,the equation is:

y = (4/25)x
