Given the values of x and y, find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x:
\n" ); document.write( "y = k*x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " y = 8, when x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 5k
\n" ); document.write( "k = \"8%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"8%2F5\"x
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.6x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
