What is the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
DOES THE EQUATION REPRESENT A DIRECT VARIATION
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok. Hold on.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ALGEBRA 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6x -2y = 0
Add 2y to both sides and you're halfway home...

?????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The equation of your example is direct variation because
6x - 2y = 0 can be rearranged as
2y = 6x
y = 3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6x -2y +2y = 0 +2y
Can you see what's going on with this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x2 + 3y = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i supposed to add 3y to both sides?

x 2 is an exponent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What's 4x2? Is that supposed to be 4x^2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, we crossed replies...
No. The left side is currently one value added to another equals zero.
So in this case you want to subtract 3y from both sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 4x + y =-3 would that be constant variation

4x^2=-3y

0r direct ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
???

My mind is getting fuzzy.
I can't answer this with high confidence. What are the alternatives to "direct variations"?
