Question

Answer 1

I'm doing the same test.. what are the answers ?

Answer 2

Data:

x          y

16        4

32      16

48      36

Direct relation means that the ratio y / x is constant.

So, let's examine this ratio:

Ratio y / x

4/16 = 1/4

16/32 = 1/2

36/48 = 3/ 4

Given that the ratio y/x is not constant, the conclusion is that  y does not vary directly with x.
