Since the ratio of of second variable to the ratio of first variable remains constant i.e y/x =8 so, the linear relationship is direct variation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A relationship is said to have direct variation if ratio of second variable to the ratio of first variable remains constant.
A relationship is direct variation if where k is the constant.
Now checking if the given data is having direct variation or not.
x y
3 24
4 32
5 40
6 48
Now finding y/x
if y=24 and x = 3 then y/x = 24/3 = 8
if y=32 and x = 4 then y/x =32/4=8
if y=40 and x = 5 then y/x =40/5 =8
if y=48 and x = 6 then y/x =48/6= 8
Since the ratio of of second variable to the ratio of first variable remains constant i.e y/x =8 so, the linear relationship is direct variation.

<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>
<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
