Which table of values reflects a direct variation?

Mehek (mehek14):

Hi! Which one do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Direct variation is of the form \(y=kx\) where k is any constant

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

which of those is gonna act like y=kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mehek14 , I really am confused on this , I do not know.

Mehek (mehek14):

ok look at the first table

Mehek (mehek14):

can you identify its function?

Mehek (mehek14):

how is it increasing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X is going 1, 2, 3 , going up.

Mehek (mehek14):

it's going exponentially \(1^2=1\\2^2=4\\3^2=9\)

Mehek (mehek14):

that is an indirect variation, so it can't be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh, Ok.

Mehek (mehek14):

let's look at B

Mehek (mehek14):

how is it increasing each time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1x2 2x2 3x3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x2*

Mehek (mehek14):

no it's y=2x \(y=2*1=2\\y=2*2=4\\y=2*3=6\)

Mehek (mehek14):

so that is a direct variation \(\ddot\smile\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Ok, Thank you ! :)
