Question 761112: find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x and y =1.1 when x =0.2 then find the value of y when x = 8

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y varies directly x
y = kx
k is constant of variation
To find k
y = kx
1.1 = k0.2
k = 1.1/0.2
k = 5.5
y = 5.5*x
y = 5.5 * 8
y = 44.
Hope this helps.
