=

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!

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

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

hartnn (hartnn):

you too :) and welcome ^_^
