When y varies proportionally with x, what is k when x = 50 and y = 375?
2\15
7.5
5.5
10\75
When y varies proportionally with x, we have the equation y = kx where k is the constant of variation.
To find k, we can substitute the given values of x = 50 and y = 375 into the equation and solve for k.
375 = k(50)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 50:
375/50 = k
7.5 = k
Therefore, when x = 50 and y = 375, the value of k is 7.5.
