Answer:

The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where

k is the constant of variation

To find the value of k, use the initial values of x and y

∵ The variables x and y vary directly

→ Use the form of the equation above

∴ y = k x

∵ When x = 13, y = 52

→ That means the initial values of x and y are 13 and 52

∴ x = 13 and y = 52

→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k

∵ 52 = k (13)

∴ 52 = 13k

→ Divide both sides by 13

∴ 4 = k

∴ The value of k is 4

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = 4x

∴ The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

if we look on one side, we already have one measurement. 4 cm. ok, that's the measurement on that side. look to the left now. that other side is also the same length, so we take that number and multiply it be 2 to get

$4 \times 2$

Wait! we're not done yet. look at the top. do you see the 3? well that's the width for the top of the rectangle. the bottom must be the same to right? so we get

$3 \times 2$
