Question 375651: Given that y varies directly with x, use the specified values to write a direct variation equation that relates x and y,
x=5,y=10
x=4,y=6
x=2,y=-16
What does direct variation mean?

The first: y = 2x.
The second: y = 3x/2.
The third: y = -8x.
Direct variation: y varies directly as x if y = k*x, for some proportionality constant k.
