recall that the length a spring  streches varies directly with the amount of weight attached to it. a certain spring stretches 5cm when a 10-gram weight is attached 
write a direct variation equation relating the weight x and the amount of stretch y.


Sagot :

Direct variation is y=kx

In this case, y=1/2x. The spring stretches 5 cm for every 10 grams. Therefore if y=5 and x=10, k would have to be 1/2. That's how we come up with our direct variation model.
