So 2x +y =3 isn't a direct variation? Neither is 2.4+6=1.2y. But 8x+2y=0 is and y= 4x is the constant? And x-3y=0 is a direct variation and y=-1/3x is the constant.

It is not a direct variation

solomonzelman · Answer

Direct variations look like  y=5x  or  like
y=-2x

anonymous · Answer

So it doesnt matter if you can graph it?  You can graph any equation right? So a direct variation just has an x and y with something multiplied to x?  So  x-3y=0. Where y= -3x. And
8x+2y=0 where y=4x

anonymous · Answer

Those are but these are not-----
2x+y=3  isn't.  Neither is 2.4x + 6 = 1.2y isn't either?
