Question

Which table represents a direct variation? Table A x 4 6 8 10 y 7 9 11 13 Table B x 4 6 8 10 y 12 18 24 30 Table C x 4 6 8 10 y 1 3 5 7 Table D x 4 6 8 10 y 3 3 3 3 Table A Table B Table C Table D

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that 'Table B' represents a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, the equation is

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality.

Table A

x     4 6 8 10

y     7 9 11 13

Finding k for all the pairs of x and y

k = y/x

k = 7/4, k = 9/6 = 3/2, k = 11 / 8, k = 13/11

As constant of proportionality 'k' does not remain constant.

Hence, table A does not represent a direct variation

Table B

x     4   6   8   10

y     12 18 24 30

Finding k all the pairs of x and y

k = y/x

k = 12/4 = 3, k = 18/6 = 3, k = 24/8 = 3, k = 30/10 = 3

As the constant of proportionality remains constant.

Therefore, the value of k = 3 for all the points in the table.

Hence, table B represents a direct variation.

Table C

x     4   6   8   10

y     1    3    5    7

Finding k all the pairs of x and y

k = y/x

k = 1/4, k = 3/6 = 1/2, k = 5/8, k = 7/10

As the constant of proportionality 'k' does not remain constant.

Hence, table C does not represent a direct variation.

Table D

x     4   6   8   10

y     3   3   3    3

Finding k all the pairs of x and y

k = y/x

k = 3/4, k = 3/6, k = 3/8, k = 3/10

As the constant of proportionality 'k' does not remain constant.

Hence, table D does not a direct variation.

Therefore, we conclude that 'Table B' represents a direct variation.
