What is the direct variation equation for the table of ordered pairs? x y 20 24 30 36 40 48

The equation for the direct variation is y = 1.2x

In order to find this, we start with the base for any direct variation equation.

y = kx.

Now we use the ordered pairs to find the value of k to model the equation.

y = kx

24 = k(20)

1.2 = k

Now that we know this, we can model the equation as y = 1.2x and test for the other values --- each of which work in the newly written equation.

step-by-step explanation:

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
