Answer:
The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Y and x are directly proportional, as stated by hypothesis. Let's use the rule of three to find y when x = 8.
x=5 --> y=12
x=8 --> y=?
? = (8*12)/5 = 96/5 = 19.2
So y directly varies with x, and y=12 when x = 5, then y=19.2 when x=8.
