Is this equation a direct variation? 8x+4y=12

This line is partial variation, not direct variation

How did you do this?

In this case, you solve for y. So your new equation would now be. y=-8/9x+10/9. So we now have the slope of the line. But since 10/9 is a non-zero intercept... it is partial variation

Do you have to find the slope?
