For the data in the table, does y vary directly with x? If it does, write an equation for the direct variation.

TABLE

x y
-------
2 10
4 24
6 36​

Respuesta :

Answer:

y does not vary directly with x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

If k is constant for all ordered pairs in the table then direct variation.

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

(2, 10 ) → k = [tex]\frac{10}{2}[/tex] = 5

(4, 24 ) → k = [tex]\frac{24}{4}[/tex] = 6

(6, 36 ) → k = [tex]\frac{36}{6}[/tex] = 6

Since k is not constant for all pairs then y does not vary directly with x
