As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
Put the terms in order of decreasing degree, all on the left. When convenient, it is nice to have mutually prime integer coefficients with the leading one positive.
a) x² -2x +1 = 0
b) x² +15 = 0
c) 4x² -12 = 0
or, better, divide out the common factor of 4.
x² -3 = 0
d) 3x² -x -5 = 0

Shown is the standard form for a single-variable second-degree equation. Form varies depending on the nature of the equation. Equations of conic sections have different standard forms, depending on the curve.
D. The x and y values are both negative
