Answer:
C. y +3 = x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find in below option x has direct variation with y.
We solve for each;
A.
From above equation we can state that 2 times y is equal to 7 less than 3 times of x.
Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.
B.
Solving above expression we get;
From above equation we can state that y is equal to 10 more than x.
Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.
C.
Solving above expression we get;
From above equation we can state that y is equal to x.
Hence it represent direct variation.
D.
Solving above expression we get;
From above equation we can state that 4 times y is equal to 2 less than 4 times of x.
Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.
Hence the Answer which represent direct variation of x and y is,
C.
