Need help with this problem!...

Answer 1

@Mertsj

Answer 2

I thought we did this yesterday.

Answer 3

@Mertsj i don't think we did

Answer 4

Direct variations are of the form y = k x where k is a constant.

Answer 5

In the case of a line, we call k the slope and name it m. So we see that a line that is in y = mx+b form and where b is 0 is a direct variation.

Answer 6

@Mertsj ok

Answer 7

Is the y intercept of your line 0?

Answer 8

@Mertsj no?

Answer 9

Where does your line cross the y axis?

Answer 10

@Mertsj 0

Answer 11

The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. So what is your y intercept?

Answer 12

@Mertsj it would be 0

Answer 13

So it is a direct variation since the y intercept is 0 and it is a line.

Answer 14

What is the slope (which is the constant of variation)?

Answer 15

@Mertsj 2/3

Answer 16

The line is falling.

Answer 17

So that means that the slope is negative

Answer 18

@Mertsj oh so its-3/2

Answer 19

the change in y goes on top

Answer 20

@Mertsj i dont know what you mean

Answer 21

slope is rise over run

Answer 22

@Mertsj yes, so then you go down 4 and run 6

Answer 23

@Mertsj simplified would be -3/2 right?
