Express the statement as a formula.  Use the given information to find the constant of proportionality y  is directly proportional to  x .  If  x  = 4, then  y  = 72. M  varies directly as  x  and inversely as  y .  If  x  = 2 and  y  = 6, then  M  = 5. s  is inversely proportional to the square root of  t .  If  s  = 100, then  t  = 25.
Hooke’s Law states that the force  F  needed to keep a spring stretched  x  units beyond its natural length is directly proportional to  x .
