Y = kx is the direct variation equation with k being the "constant of variation"
The constant here being the conversion decimal .91
y = 0.91x
If you graph out y = x^2 - 1, you'll see that it is a curved parabola. It is not a straight line. So visually this shows the equation is not linear. It's considered nonlinear.
Algebraically, the given equation does not fit the form y = mx+b which is slope intercept form. So this is more confirmation that we do not have a linear function.
The point would become (8,2)
3+5=8
4-2=2
... there is no math problem here
When the number is odd and a multiple of 3, the number that Ethan is thinking of is -9.
<h3>How to illustrate the number?</h3>
In mathematics, a multiple is the product of any quantity and an integer. It should be noted that, for the quantities a and b, it can be said that b is a multiple of a if b = na for some integer n, which is called the multiplier. If a is not zero, this is equivalent to saying that b/a is an integer.
In this case, Ethan is thinking of a negative number that is lower than -4 and higher than -10 and his number is odd and a multiple of 3. The number is -9 since 9 is a multiple of 3.
