determain wheather y varies directly with x. -4y=8x+16

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes: y = x plus alot of noise

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y = 1/x is an inverse relationship; y = x is a direct relationship

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes y=1 is not an option so thats wronq

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its hard to tell; why would you put y=1 as an answer?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y varies directly with x is TRUE in this context.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2 -4 or 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if you decide to make either x or y the subject?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

....is what 2 -4 or 8?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have the equation of a line; it has an infinite number of solutions...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the slope of that line is -2.... 8/-4 = -2 so the change in y with respect to x is -2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

amistres but you have not prooved that the two vary directly
