Question

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation. If y varies directly as x, and y = 2 when x = 3, find y when x = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 2/3 x

y = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx where k is a constant

y = 2 when x = 3 so:

2 =k*3

k = 2/3.

The equation is y = 2/3 x.

When x = 1

y = 2/3 * 1 = 2/3.

Answer 2

If the value of the constant k is 2/3. Then the value of y at x = 1, is 2/3

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

If y varies directly as x.

y ∝ x

y = kx

Where k is a constant.

At x = 3, the value of y will be 2.

2 = 3k

k = 2/3

Then the value of y at x = 1, we have

y = (2/3) 1

y = 2/3
