1.

If y = 12 when x = 4, find y when x = 12:

• Since y varies directly as x, the constant of variation (k) can be calculated as:
k = y1 / x1 = 12 / 4 = 3
• Now, we can find y when x = 12:
y = k * x = 3 * 12 = 36
Therefore, y = 36 when x = 12.

2. If y = -18 when x = 9, find y when x = 7:

k = y1 / x1 = -18 / 9 = -2
• Therefore, y when x = 7:
y = k * x = -2 * 7 = -14

3. If y = -3 when x = -4, find x when y = 2:

• Calculate k:
k = y1 / x1 = -3 / -4 = 3/4
• Now, find x when y = 2:
2 = (3/4) * x
x = (2 * 4) / 3
x = 8/3
Therefore, x = 8/3 when y = 2.

4. If y = 3 when x = 10, find x when y = 1.2:

• Calculate the constant of variation:
k = y1 / x1 = 3 / 10 = 3/10
• Now, find x when y = 1.2:
1.2 = (3/10) * x
x = (1.2 * 10) / 3
x=4
Therefore, x = 4 when y = 1.2.

5. If y = 2.5 when x = 25, find y when x = .75:

• Calculate k:
k = y1 / x1 = 2.5 / 25 = 0.1
• Now, find y when x = 0.75:
y = 0.1 * 0.75
y = 0.075
Therefore, y = 0.075 when x = 0.75.
