Which equation represents a direct linear variation? http://prntscr.com/a8g80t

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

is this right?

@Directrix

@Directrix

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You're looking for an equation that has constant change so it's not lik 3,5,9,13 but like 2,4,6,8 (multiplying by 2)

Directrix (directrix):

The linear variation equation has to be in the form: y = k*x where k is the variation constant. Which option looks to be in that form?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Where you have y=xk

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

d

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Not quite if you plugged in 1,2,3 for x you would get 1,4,9 so that's not constant change

Directrix (directrix):

y = x^2 is a quadratic and is not a line. Its graph is a parabola.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

^^^^^that too

@Gokuporter

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Is it C?

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the options. Where do you see y = a number multiplied by x?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Which equation follows the pattern y=xk

Directrix (directrix):

>>Is it C?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Lol we're thinking the same thing at @Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Yes. y = 1/2 x

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

So it's B.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

No

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

That 1 divided by a number we need some number times a number

Directrix (directrix):

One over x is not the same as x.

Directrix (directrix):

You already chose the correct answer. @Gokuporter

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Thanks for helping. I was second guessing myself. :P

Directrix (directrix):

You said >> Is it C? Correct.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes c is right
