To determine if y varies directly with x, we can check if the ratio of y to x is constant for all values in the table. Let's calculate the ratios:
2/2 = 1,
10/4 = 2.5,
24/6 = 4,
36/6 = 6.
Since the ratios are not constant, y does not vary directly with x. Therefore, the correct answer is: no; y does not vary directly with x.
For the data in the table, does y vary directly with x? If it does, write an equation for the direct variation.
