If y equals kx then what is the relationship between x y and k?
Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
What is the symbols of inversely proportional and directly proportional?
The greek letter "alpha" (α) for both. If x is directly proportional to y, you could say x α y. For inversely proportional, you would say something like x α 1/y, or x α y^-1, as in, directly proportional to the inverse.
How do you prove that x and y are directly proportional with the equation Y equals 8X-3?

If y is proportional to the square of x fully explain what happens when x is doubled?
Example with numbers: Y = X2 Y = (2)2 Y = 4 ==== So if Y is ( directly ) proportional to X2 when X is doubled Y is increased four times.
What is inversly proportional?
x is inversely proportional to y when x = 1/y.
How do you tell if a math table is inversely proportional or directly proportional?
Generally, if y increases as x increases, this is a hint that the quantity is directly proportional, and if y decreases as x increases, the relation might be inversely proportional. However, this is not always the case. x and y are directly proportional if y = kx, where k is a constant. x and y are inversely proportional if y = k/x, k is constant. This is the best way to tell whether the quantities are directly or inversely proportional.

How can you tell when x and y are NOT directly proportional?
When there is at least one pair of x and y whose ratio is different from the ratios for the others.

Is the equation y equals 2x directly proportional?
According to the equation [ y = 2x ], 'y' is directly proportional to 'x' .
What is inversely and directly proportional?
Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.

Y is directly proportional to x?
If a variable (such as y) is directly proportional to another variable (such as x), they both increase and decrease simultaneously. An equation for two directly proportional variables is:y = axIt's sort of like a linear equation, but it always goes through the origin.An example is y = 6x. Notice that it forms a straight line and crosses the origin, and that y and x increase in the same direction.
If y is directly proportional to x and y equals 12. What is the value of x when y equals 5?
Insufficient information. What is x when y = 12?
What is the value of x when y equals 0?
There's no way we can figure that out until you tell us how 'x' and 'y' are related to each other. That kind of information is called an "equation".
Does y varies directly with x if y54 when x 6?
y=54 if x=6 so we can write y=9(x) so y=k(x) clearly y is directly proportional to x.
If y is proportional to the square of x fully explain what happens when x is doubled?
Example with numbers: Y = X2 Y = (2)2 Y = 4 ==== So if Y is ( directly ) proportional to X2 when X is doubled Y is increased four times.
