Direct and Inverse Variation
Directions: Solve. Assume that y varies directly as x. [Remember that a direct variation is described by an equaion of the form y = kx where k≠0.]

1. If y = −4 when x = 2, find y when x = −6.
3. If y = −5 when x = 12.5, find x when y = 15.
5. If y = 80 when x = 32, find x when y = 100.
7. If y = 28 when x = 168, find y when y = 108.

2. If y = 16 when x = 4. find y when x = 6.
4. If y = 7 when x = 4, find y when x = 12.
6. If y = 198 when x = 22, find y when x = 182.
8. If y = 24 when x = 6, find y when x = −4.

Directions: Solve. Assume that y varies inversely as x. [Remember that an inverse variation is described by an equaion of the form xy = k where k≠0.]
