Expert Solution

The equation is T=kx

Explanation of Solution

Given:

T varies directly as x

Concept used:

If the quantities x and y are related by an equation

y=kx

For some constant k0

That is y varies directly as x or y is directly proportional to x

The constant k is called constant proportionality
