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)

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.

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

>>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

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.
