Question

How would you graph the direct variation equation?
y - 4x

Answer 1

You need an = sign

Answer 2

my exam doesn't have an = sign. i'm guessing the - is suppose to be an =.

Answer 3

oh. because I was wondering did you mean y= -4x or y= 4x
Let's guess y= 4x

pick a nice (small number) for x. replace the x with your small number. multiply by 4
that will be y. you have found 1 point (x,y). plot it.
pick another small number. find (x,y). plot it.
draw a line through the 2 points. (connect the dots, as they say)
