the value of y varies directly with x. when y=75,x=1/2 what is they value of y when x=2 1/4
y varies directly with x, so y = kx , where k is some constant.
y = kx When y = 75 , x = 1/2 . So
75 = k(1/2) Multiply both sides by 2 .
150 = k
So...
y = 150x
To find y when x = 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) , plug in 2\(\frac14\) for x .
y = 150( 2\(\frac14\) ) 1/4 = 0.25 , so 2 + 1/4 = 2.25
y = 150( 2.25 )
y = 337.5
