Answer

Step 6: Thus, the direct variation equation is y=132x

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: In a direct variation, the equation can be written in the form y=kx where k is the constant of variation. To find the constant of variation, we can equate the two equations.

Step 2 :Step 2: Equating the equations, we get 3x+2=5x1

Step 3 :Step 3: Simplifying the equation, we get 2x=3

Step 4 :Step 4: Solving for x, we get x=32

Step 5 :Step 5: Substitute x=32 into the first equation y=3x+2, we get y=3(32)+2=92+2=132

Step 6 :Step 6: Thus, the direct variation equation is y=132x
