1. Which equation represents direct variation?
y = x + 3
y = 4x
y = 5/x
y = x^2
2. If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 2, what is the constant of variation?
5
20
12
8
3. In a direct variation, as one quantity increases, the other quantity .
4. The equation for inverse variation is y = k / x, where k is the constant of .
5. The cost (C) of apples varies directly with their weight (W). If 3 pounds of apples cost $4.50, what is the cost of 5 pounds of apples?
6. The time (T) it takes to complete a task varies inversely with the number of workers (N). If 4 workers can complete a task in 6 hours, how long will it take 8 workers to complete the same task?
