Direct proportion for beginners

What is the direct proportion equation for the following information. x = 12, y = 16

• y = 16/12 x

• k = 16/12

• 16 = k(12)

• y = kx

Y varies directly as x. If y = 39 when x = 52, what is the best answer for k?

• k = 3/4

• k = 39/52

• k = 52

• k = 4/3

If x = 9 when y = 30, what is k equal to

• k = 3/1

• k = 1/3

• k = 10/3

• k = 3/10

n varies directly with c. If c = 24 when n = 18, what is the equation of direct proportion

• n = kc

• n = 18/24 c

• k = 18/24

• n = 3/4 c

The equation y = kx refers to which algebraic concept?

• direct equality

• direct variation

• linear equation

• direct proportion

In a direct variation, y = 39 when x = 3. Find the equation of direct proportion

• y = kx

• y = 13 x

• y = 1/13 x

• k = 13
