Grid lines to the right represent positive numbers for the first coordinate. 3 of them will put you on a grid line with a value of 3×0.5 = 1.5.
You now know enough to select the correct answer, ...
... (1.5, -2.5)
_____
You can confirm this is the correct answer by figuring the second coordinate. Down represents negative numbers, so down 5 units is -(5×0.5) = -2.5. This matches the second coordinate of the chosen answer.
Answer: Yes, y does vary directly with x.
Constant of variation = 1/4
The function rule is y = (1/4)x
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.
If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
Solving for k gets us k = y/x
For each row, divide the y value over the x value
- row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
- row two: k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
- row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25
Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.
So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x
Let's solve ~
[ according to given figure ]
Correct choice is D
X = 12 , just solved it right now :)
Hope this helps! Good luck!
