Suppose y varies directly with x, and y= 10 when x=-2. what direct variation equation relates x and y? what is the value of y when x=-15. i don't understand how to solve this, can someone explain to me how to get the answer and what it's asking. p. s. it's a practice question so i know the answer just not how to get it.

The statement " y varies directly as x ," means that when x increases,y increases by the same factor. In other words, y and x always have the same ratio:

Since k is constant (the same for every point), we can find k when given any point by dividing the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate. For example, if y varies directly as x , and y = 6 when x = 2 , the constant of variation is k =  = 3 . Thus, the equation describing this direct variation is y = 3x .

Example 1: If y varies directly as x , and x = 12 when y = 9 , what is the equation that describes this direct variation?

k =  =  
y =  x

Example 2: If y varies directly as x , and the constant of variation is k =  , what is y when x = 9 ?

y =  x = (9) = 15

As previously stated, k is constant for every point; i.e., the ratio between the y -coordinate of a point and the x -coordinate of a point is constant. Thus, given any two points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2) that satisfy the equation,  = k and  = k . Consequently,  =  for any two points that satisfy the equation.

Example 3: If y varies directly as x , and y = 15 when x = 10 , then what is y when x = 6 ?

 =  
 =  
6() = y 
y = 9

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
