Question

1. Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant variation.
2y + 5x + 1
A) Not a direct variation
B) Direct variation, constant of variation is 5/2
C) Direct variation, constant of variation is 2/5
D) Direct variation, constant of variation is 1- 2/5

Answer 1

2y + 5x + 1 I think that there is an equals symbol missing here.

Answer 2

A direct variation equation would be of the form y = k*x where k is the constant of variation.

If 2y + 5x + 1 is 2y+ 5x = 1, then it is not of the direct variation form.
