hartnn (hartnn):
a line passing through origin has the form
y=mx
hartnn (hartnn):
ere, x= 1/2 is given
so whats the equation of line?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
y=m1/2
hartnn (hartnn):
sorry, slope = m = 1/2
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
oh okay!
s=1/2x

hartnn (hartnn):
y =x/2
or
x =2y
right ?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
yup
hartnn (hartnn):
so if y=1
what does x= ?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
2! 2*1=2
x=2
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Thanks!

So then it would be (2,1)?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes. so 2,1
welcome ^_^
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
If you have an extra second, do you think you could help me with another one?
hartnn (hartnn):
sure
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
I have no idea what to do on this problem :(

hartnn (hartnn):
yes, thats a function defined as 2x
where x is a independent variable
to find D(6), plug in x=6 in 2x
what u get ?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
12?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, so its not 3
so the 3rd one is false
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Oh I get it!! :D
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
So for D(x) is a direct variant, it would not be true because D(x) only goes with the value of x, and not anything else?

hartnn (hartnn):
direct variation means of the form
y= kx
so, here D(x) is indeed direct varation
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Oh okay! I get so confused with all the math terms, but you make it so simple!
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
And for the last one, if we plug in the x, it'll equal the y, and we see if its a function?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
I think it may be true! :D
hartnn (hartnn):
you plug in x=5, see if you get D(5) =10
do this for all points.
and yes , that would be true :)

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
2*5=10
2*-2=-4
2*6=12
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
So in summary, the first one is true, second is true, third is false, fourth is true, and the last one is true?
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Or to simplify, all are true except for the third one?
hartnn (hartnn):
-2*2 is indeed -4
so, all true
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Wait, the D(6) one is true? i thought that 6*2\[6*2\neq3\]

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
Or wait, maybe its saying 2*3=6?
hartnn (hartnn):
i mean true for all 3 points, which makes last statement true
OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
oh okay lol
hartnn (hartnn):
3rd one is surely false
hartnn (hartnn):
all other are true
