The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear. I believe the answer is C. Hope I helped!
Answer:
I think its B.) Yes, because the ratios simplify to the same number., sorry if it's wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
50/10 = 1/5
60/12 = 1/5
70/14 = 1/5
80/16 = 1/5
They all simplify to the same proportion.
B = rising slowly
C = constant
D = falling quickly

Answer:
x=-5, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because there is absolute value symbol and is equal to 5.
Hi! I'm happy to help!
Point slope form states that y-
=m(x-
). m represents your slope (rise/run) and and represent your first y and x points, and y and x represent your second y and x points. We already have our equation here:
y - 4 = 1/4(x- 8)
Now, let's dive into what slope-intercept form is. Slope intercept form states that y=mx+b. m represents our slope, b represents our y intercept, y represents a y point, and x represents the corresponding x point.
Since we know our m, we can solve for b, by using our other numbers. Let's use our first set of coordinates.
4=1/4(8)+b
4=2+b
2=b
Now our second set to double check:
2=1/4(0)+b
2=0+b
2=b
We know that b must equal 2, so our equation must be y=1/4x+2, which is option 3.
<u>You should pick option 3.</u>
<u>(y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis(when x=0). We could've used our second coordinates (0,2), where x equals 0 to know that 2 is the y-intercept (b). This shortcut only works on specific problems though.)</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
