Question

Tell whether the equation 3x - 6y = 0 is a direct variation. Explain. If the equation is a direct variation, identify the constant of variation.

Answer 1

The equation is in direct variation and have constant of variation is 2.

According to the statement

we have given equation is 3x - 6y = 0 and find that the equation is direct variation of not.

Direct variation is the mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.

So, to find the direct variation equate the given equation equal to zero and solve it.

So, 3x - 6y = 0

3x=6y

or

x/ y=2 or x=2⋅y

here x is directly proportional to the y by 2 times.

∴x∝y

So, this equation in direct variations and constant of variation is 2.

From above this is clear that the equation is in direct variation and have constant of variation is 2.
