Which statement best defines direct variation?
Given the direct variation y=34xy=\(\frac\)34x, solve for xx when y=12y = 12.
If yy varies inversely as xx and y=6y = 6 when x=2x = 2, find the inverse variation equation and then compute yy when x=3x = 3.
If y=kxy = kx and someone changes the unit of xx such that: x′=2xx^{\(\prime\)}=2x, how must kk change such that yy will represent the same physical quantity in the new units of measurement?
According to Boyle's law, gas pressure pp varies inversely with volume VV. If p=150 kPap=150\(\text{ kPa}\) when V=3 LV=3\(\text{ L}\), determine the volume when p=25 kPap=25\(\text{ kPa}\).
