Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation
2y=5x+1

Answer 1

@Susanna

Answer 2

y=kx is a direct variation.

Answer 3

2y=5x+1
y=(5/2)x+1/2

Answer 4

I know the equation used to find the constant, but I am a little confused on whether it can represnt a direct variation equation with the " +!" at the end

Answer 5

I think it represents a direct variation. The constant of the variation is 5/2

Answer 6

@Susanna could you explain to me how you got 5/2? I am getting really confused

Answer 7

You have to get y on LHS and remaining in RHS
So 2y=5x+1
Divide by 2 both side to get y only in LHS
So y=(5/2)x+(1/2)
