Q. A direct variation includes the points

(4,16)

and

(1,n)

. Find

n

. Write and solve a direct variation equation to find the answer.

\newline

n = \_\_\_

Select Equation: Select the equation that represents direct variation. $\newline$ y is directly proportional to $x$ . $\newline$ Direct variation: $y = kx$
Substitute Values: We know that $y = 16$ when $x = 4$ . Substitute the values in $y = kx$ . Plug in $4$ for $x$ and $16$ for $y$ in $y = kx$ . $16 = k \times 4$
Find Constant: Now let's find the constant of proportionality $k$ . $\newline$ Divide both sides by $4$ . $\newline$ $\frac{16}{4} = \frac{(k \times 4)}{4}$ $\newline$ $4 = k$ $\newline$ $k = 4$
Write Equation: We have: $\newline$ $k = 4$ $\newline$ Write the direct variation equation $y = kx$ using the value of $k$ . $\newline$ Substitute $4$ for $k$ in $y = kx$ . $\newline$ $y = 4x$
Find $y$ : Direct variation equation: $y = 4x$ $\newline$ Find $y$ when $x = 1$ . $\newline$ Substitute $1$ for $x$ in $y = 4x$ . $\newline$ $y = 4(1)$ $\newline$ $y = 4$
