(0, 0) If it's a flat line, there is no slope.
Direct variation is y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
But now it says y varies directly with x2 (or 2x), so now the x in the equation is 2x.
The equation is y = k(2x)
Now you find k.
y = 96 when x = 4.
(96) = k(2*4)
96 = k(8)
k = 12
The equation is now y = 12(2x)
To find the value of y when x=2, plug 2 into the equation you made.
y = 12(2*2)
y = 48

Now it's with a "quadratic variation," which is the same thing except x is squared.
The equation is y = kx^2
But y varies directly with x2 (same thing as 2x), so now it's y = k(2x)^2.
Now you find k by substituting y and x values that were given.
y = 180 when x = 6
(180) = k(2*6)^2
180 = k(12)^2
180 = k(144)
k = 1.25
k, 1.25, is the constant of variation.
Answer: 30% of 500 is 150.
So first, you have to remember the order of operations. That means that whatever is in the parentheses is what has to be done first
However, because one of the numbers in the parentheses is a variable and the other isn't, we can distribute instead
Therefore, 3(12+4x) distributes by multiplying the 3 into both numbers in the parentheses. So we get 36+12x
Now the equation is 20=8+36+12x
Now, bring all numbers without variables on the left side
20-8-36=8-8+36-36+12x
20-8-36=12x
Now simplify
20-8-36=12x
12-36=12x
-24=12x
Divide both sides by 12, and you get x=-2
Hope this helped!!! :D
