Part 1: Yes, y varies directly with x.
Part 2: To find the constant of variation, we can use the formula k = y/x.
For the first set of data:
k = 8/32 = 1/4
For the second set of data:
k = 11/44 = 1/4
For the third set of data:
k = 12/48 = 1/4
Therefore, the constant of variation is 1/4.
The function rule is y = (1/4)x.
Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation and write the function rule.
