Answer 2

To see if a table of values has a direct linear relation, you have to find the first differences. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

Nope lol

Answer 4

Basically the pattern is in the f(x) row. Just do 6-0, 12-6, 18-12, and so on. They all have the first difference of 6.

Answer 5

It's kinda like the next one minus the one before.

Answer 6

That would be your k, or constant of variation as they call it in your question. If you this k is constant throughout the table of values, you have a direct linear relation.

Answer 7

Ohhhh

Answer 8

Does it count if it's -6?

Answer 9

So you'd be doing the other way around. You know it's 6 because it's basically increasing by 6 each time.

Answer 10

Oh okay, thanks!

Answer 11

Oh it's important to note that the x values must also be going up by a constant value to get the k value

Answer 12

THat makes sense
