To determine if y varies directly with x, we need to check if the ratio of y to x is always the same.
Let's calculate the ratios for each pair of values:
For (8 , 13): y/x = 13/8 ≈ 1.625
For (16, 26): y/x = 26/16 ≈ 1.625
For (24, 39): y/x = 39/24 ≈ 1.625
Since the ratios are always the same (approximately 1.625), we conclude that y varies directly with x.
Therefore, the equation for the direct variation is: y = 1.625x
