is the equation a direct linear variation? will fan and medal for all correct anwsers y=2x^2 y=x+3 y=3x

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Is that three questions

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

one question 3 parts

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

part a,b,c

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

So are u trying to Find the Quadratic Constant of Variation

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

im trying to find if each equation is a direct linear variation

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Oh so u trying Graph ?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

number 5

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Oh i get it now

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

ok

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

A.A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be 0 or 1 for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable y is 1 and the degree of variable x is 2. Not Linear

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

y=2x^2...Not linear

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

y=x+3.... is Linear

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

y=3x....is Linear

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

how do we know y=1 and x=2?

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

y=1...is Linear

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

x=2...is Linear

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

That's all right

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

Yw friend :D

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

can you help me explain why each one is or is not linear?
