Variable y varies directly with variable x. If x = 12, then y = 3. What is the value of y

Monica [59]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>y = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 8 we must first find the relationship between the two variables.

The statement

y varies directly with variable x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

when

x = 12

y = 3

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for k

That's

3 = 12k

Divide both sides by 12

k =  \frac{1}{4}

So the formula for the variation is

y =  \frac{1}{4} x

when

x = 8

y =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 8

we have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which graph of a relation is also a function ?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is only a function when there is only one y value for each x value.

A trick is to draw a line through some points on the x-axis, and if the line goes through more than one point. Then it is not a function. (See picture)

Sorry, not all the lines are straight, but you get the point. B is the only one that doesn't have more than one point on the lines I drew.
