determine whether y varies directly with x. if so, find the constant of variation k. -4y=8x+16

you can make a T chart to determine... when they're vary directly, y gets positive while x gets positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you divide by -4 you get \[y=-2x-4\] graphing this you get |dw:1343683570261:dw|

as you can see, as x gets bigger, y decreases, therefore it is not direct variation
