@amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if they are simple enough to type out, please do so. otherwise things get lost in trying to flip back and forth among windows

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do you recall what a general direct variation looks like as y=???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.y-9=2x+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and no i dont

OpenStudy (amistre64):

from what i recall, its just a linear eqaution: y = kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.y=4/7x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if x is in the denominator, then its not direct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so all of the ones besides the ones with x as a denominator?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1418495744550:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does that mean @yamyam70 ^

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

you know that a direct variation means multiply right? given general formula for direct variations is y = kx

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

so if x is a denominator, that means it varies "INVERSELY" which is NOT a direct variation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Try solving for y in every equation then if x is not a denominator , it varies directly.
