Question 1

In the following tables are x and y…


📝 Question:

In the following tables, are x and y in direct variation? Find the value of the constant ratio also. Table I:* x =, y =

💡 Solution:

Since the ratio x/y is constant for all values, x and y are in direct variation. Constant ratio k = 1/3.

Direct variation

  • Table II: x = [2.5, 7.5, 11, 17.5, 19], y = [2.5, 7.5, 11, 17.5, 19]

Since the ratio is constant, x and y are in direct variation. Constant ratio k = 1.

Direct variation

  • Table III: x =, y =

The ratio x/y is not constant. Therefore, x and y are not in direct variation.

It's not a direct variation

  • Table IV: x =, y = [2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5]

The ratio x/y is not constant. Therefore, x and y are not in direct variation.

It's not a direct variation
