You have to ask the question with the right type of something.
<span>Points (1, 1), and (2, 2) are on a line which has a slope of 1
ok?
The only point that lies on this line is (3,3).

Given parameters:
y varies directly as w;
This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;
So, y ∝ w
y = kw
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2
Input in the equation to solve for k;
8 = k x 2
Solving k gives, k = 4
Now to the second part,
if v is directly proportional to w;
v = k w
So v = 4w
The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
4(5)=20
5(5)=25
