It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2 + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2

Arrange these numbers from least to greatest:

zmey [24]

First let's put them all over 100.
- $\frac{5}{8}$ would change to - $\frac{62.5}{100}$

- $\frac{7}{9}$ to - $\frac{77.7}{100}$

- $\frac{4}{5}$ to - $\frac{80}{100}$

- $\frac{3}{7}$ to - $\frac{42.8}{100}$

Then if we put them from least to greatest it would be from highest to lowest (since they are negatives)

- $\frac{4}{5}$ , - $\frac{7}{9}$ , - $\frac{5}{8}$ , - $\frac{3}{7}$

The answer would be B
