A direct variation (or proportional) relationship can be expressed as:
[tex]y=kx[/tex]where k is the constant of proportionality or unit rate.
If we have a point where y=14 and x=7, we can calculate it as:
[tex]k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{14}{7}=2[/tex]We can then write the function as:
[tex]y=2x[/tex]Answer: y=2x
