Question

Y is directly proportional to x. when y=30, x=6. A) work out an equation connecting y and x. B) work out what the value of y when x=12.

Answer 1

Answer:A)Y =k x

Y =5x

B.Y=60

Explanation:

Given that Y is directly proportional to x

mathematically , it Is represented as

Y ∝ x

Introducing the constant of proportionality, k. we have that

Y =k x

Now when y=30, x=6, k becomes

30=k 6

k=30/6=5

we now have the equation connecting them as

Y =5x

B) Now when x=12, y becomes

Y =5x

Y =5 X 12

Y=60
