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!

Direct variation means y=kx no other terms so the answer is c because y= 3x+3

A baker is calculating the charge for two types of cookies. what formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies a

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: Each dozen of chocolate chip cookies costs $1.50/dozen. So if you sell C dozens of them, you win C*$1.50 dollars, where C is a positive integer number. Similar case for the lemon ones, the baker will win L*$1.00 dollars if he sells L dozens of them ( where L is a positive integer), the total charge is the sum of both parts; T = L*$1.00 + C*$1.50.

A pipe is leaking at 1.5 cups per day about how many gallons per week is the pipe leaking

yawa3891 [41]

1 U.S. CUP - 0.0625 U.S. GALLONS

So? Convert the cups to gallons.

7 DAYS/PER WEEK

1.5 x 7 = 10.5

So... half a cup is about 0.03125 gallons.

0.03125 + (10 x 0.0625) = ???

Drum roll please...

Plot twist: You can do it yourself.

Malik is making 36 small pack of chili spices and 15 large packs of chili spices. A small pack contains 2.35 ounces of spices.A

Elena L [17]

The answer is
To find how many ounces you need to make, you multiply the number of packs by how many ounces.
So, it would look like:
36*2.35=84.6
15*10.8=162

Then you add the ounces together and you have your answer:
162+84.6=246.6 ounces
