Okay, so for the first one: A direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other variable. So an example would be a + b = 10. Is there an expression similar to this one in your answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

;]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats correct?? next ones?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Yes, it is correct. For the second one, I am not sure. i am not very good with all those coordinate plane thingies, but I know that a constant of variation in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities. Sorry. :/ One to the second one.

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

To the third one I mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u dont know 2 & 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

I don't know #2, but #3 I think is B.

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Okay, 4, 5, & 6 I don't know. Sorry. I am a little advanced in math, but I am in Algebra I, so. That's why I help you in some things and other things I don't know.

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Sorry, but I recommend @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Very nice level 99 user. :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for #2, look at the graph once; its going thru origin (0, 0) so it wil be of form : \(y = mx\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

clearly \(y\) varies directly wid \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be B & C?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

constant of variation is simply the \(slope\) of the line in the graph u knw how to tell \(slope\) by looking at the graph ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Nope. we already confirmed that option A is correct. so.... why u dint pick option A ? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, my brain is off. So the only answer for 2 is A?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A is correct, there is one more option thats correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the graph once, and see if u can tell the slope of the line ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

telling slope from the graph is bit easy, look at the line. as u go right, the line is going UP eh ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to see the blue line in ur graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are woring on 2 still rite?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes we're wid #2 still

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and im hoping u wud look at the graph once, and wud tell me the slope of line :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be B?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes A and B are the oly correct options. but how did u figure out its B ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we work to next one?
