Hi
*Note: When Quantities vary directly,they are related by the relationship:
k being the constant of proportionality.
Suppose x varies directly with y. If y increases by a factor of 2,
what will happen to x...it will increase by a factor of 2
x = ky k being constant or always the same value
2x = k(2y)
