Let’s check out your problem:

y=(x)/(k)
In the given equation, 
k is a constant. If 
x were multipled by 
(1)/(2), how would the value of 
y change?
Choose 1 answer:
A The value of 
y would be multiplied by 
(1)/(2k).
B The value of 
y would be multiplied by 
(1)/(2).
(c) The value of 
y would not change.
(D) The value of 
y would be multiplied by 2 .

y=xk y=\frac{x}{k} \newlineIn the given equation, k k is a constant. If x x were multipled by 12 \frac{1}{2} , how would the value of y y change?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newlineA The value of y y would be multiplied by 12k \frac{1}{2 k} .\newlineB The value of y y would be multiplied by 12 \frac{1}{2} .\newline(c) The value of y y would not change.\newline(D) The value of y y would be multiplied by 22 .

Q. y=xk y=\frac{x}{k} \newlineIn the given equation, k k is a constant. If x x were multipled by 12 \frac{1}{2} , how would the value of y y change?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newlineA The value of y y would be multiplied by 12k \frac{1}{2 k} .\newlineB The value of y y would be multiplied by 12 \frac{1}{2} .\newline(c) The value of y y would not change.\newline(D) The value of y y would be multiplied by 22 .
  1. Substitute xx with (1/2)x(1/2)x: Start by substituting xx with (1/2)x(1/2)x in the equation y=xky = \frac{x}{k}.
  2. Simplify by dividing xx: Simplify the expression by dividing xx by 22 first.
  3. Recognize equivalent multiplication: Recognize that dividing xx by 22 is equivalent to multiplying yy by 12\frac{1}{2}, since kk remains constant.
