Answer:
a) y = 5x
b) y = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Standard equation of direct proportion:
y = kx
We need to find k. We can use the given values of x and y to find k.
x = 6; y = 30
30 = k * 6
k = 30/6 = 5
Now we use k = 5 in the standard equation to get this problem's direct proportion equation.
y = 5x
b)
x = 12
y = 5x
y = 5 (12)
y = 60
