Suppose that y varies directly with x

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

25/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation tells you that y is proportional to x. That means a reduction by a factor of 5/6 as x changes from 6 to 5 will result in a reduction of y by the same factor.

y = (5/6)(5) = 25/6
