Which equation does not represent a direct variation?

Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.

A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:

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.

Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.

This leaves B and C. 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.

This leaves C as the odd one out.

I hope this helps you :)

Due soon!! <br>Find the measure of GE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. A. 14 B. 20 C. 15 D. 16
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

D. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

GH^2 = GF \times GE

12^2 = 9 \times (9+x - 2)

144= 9 \times (7+x)

\frac{144}{9}= (7+x)

16= 7+x

16-7=x

9=x

GE = 9 + x - 2 = 9 + 9 - 2 = 18 - 2

GE = 16

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 fruits, 3 of which are apples.

The probability that the first selection is an apple is 3/10.

There are now 9 fruits remaining, 2 of which are apples.  So the probability that the second fruit is an apple is 2/9.

The total probability is (3/10) (2/9) = 1/15.
