Question

y is directly proportional to x. when x = 8, y = 20. determine the value of y when x = 3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y is directly proportional to x

y = kx

k represents the constant of proportionality.

when y = 20 and x = 8:

20 = 8k

Dividing both sides by 8 gives:

k = 2.5

Hence when x = 3.

y = 2.5(3)

y = 7.5 .
