Answer:

Option a is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x

Hence y can be written as kx

y=kx where k is the constant of proportionality

To find k:

Use the fact that y=7 when x=3

We get

7 =3k

OR k =[tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Hence the relation between x and y is

[tex]y=\frac{7}{3}x[/tex]

To find y value when x=7:

From the relation we found we substitute x =7 to find y

[tex]y=\frac{7}{3} (7)=\frac{49}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

choice a is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As y varies directly as x so we can write y = kx.

Here  k is constant of proportionality.

First we find the value of k.

We use the values of x and y to find the value of k.

y = 7 when x = 3

y = kx

7 = k(3)

7/3 = k

k = 7/3

Hence y = 7/3x

Now, we have to find the value of y when x = 7

y = 7/3(7)

y = 49/3
