Problem:-
3.) If y varies directly as x and y = 24 when x = 6, find the variation constant and the equation of variation.
Solution:-
A. Express the statement “y varies directly as x”, as y = kx .
B. Solve for k by substituting the given values in the equation.
[tex]\sf\rightarrow{y = kx}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\rightarrow{24 = 6k}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\rightarrow{K = \frac{24}{6} }[/tex]
[tex]\sf\rightarrow{K={\color{magenta}{4}}}[/tex]
Answer:-
- Therefore, the constant of variation is 4.
C. Form the equation of the variation by substituting 4 in the statement y = kx. Thus , y = 4 x.
