Question

Given y varies directly as x, use the given x-value and y-value to find an equation that relates x and y. x = 24 and y = 360 A) y = 15x B) x = 15xy C) y = .15x D) y = 15 x

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the given condition x = 24 and y = 360

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{360}{24}$ = 15

Hence y = 15x is the equation → A
