Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{5}{2}x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Variation: Direct from y to x:
[tex]y\ \alpha\ x[/tex]
[tex]y =15; x = 6[/tex]
Required
Write the equation
[tex]y\ \alpha\ x[/tex]
Express as an equation
[tex]y = kx[/tex]
Where k is the constant of variation
Substitute [tex]y =15; x = 6[/tex]
[tex]15 = 6k[/tex]
Solve for k
[tex]k = \frac{15}{6}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]k = \frac{5}{2}[/tex] in [tex]y = kx[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{5}{2}x[/tex]
