Question

What other points are on the line of direct variation through (5, 12)? Check all that apply. (0, 0) (2.5, 6) (3, 10) (7.5, 18) (12.5, 24) (15, 36)

Answer 1

Here's the answers and graph

Answer 2

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in this problem we have

the point $(5,12)$ is on the line of direct variation

so

Find the constant of proportionality k

$y/x=k$-------> substitute ------> $k=12/5$

the equation is

$y=\frac{12}{5}x$

Remember that

If a point is on the line of direct variation

then

the point must satisfy the equation of direct variation

we're proceeding to verify each point

case A) point $(0,0)$

$x=0\ y=0$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$0=\frac{12}{5}*0$

$0=0$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(0,0)$ is on the line of direct variation

case B) point $(2.5,6)$

$x=2.5\ y=6$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$6=\frac{12}{5}*2.5$

$6=6$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(2.5,6)$ is on the line of direct variation

case C) point $(3,10)$

$x=3\ y=10$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$10=\frac{12}{5}*3$

$10=7.2$ -------> is not  true

therefore

the point $(3,10)$ is not on the line of direct variation

case D) point $(7.5,18)$

$x=7.5\ y=18$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$18=\frac{12}{5}*7.5$

$18=18$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(7.5,18)$ is on the line of direct variation

case E) point $(12.5,24)$

$x=12.5\ y=24$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$24=\frac{12}{5}*12.5$

$18=30$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point  $(12.5,24)$ is not on the line of direct variation

case F) point $(15,36)$

$x=15\ y=36$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$36=\frac{12}{5}*15$

$36=36$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(15,36)$ is on the line of direct variation

therefore

the answer is

$(0,0)$

$(2.5,6)$

$(7.5,18)$

$(15,36)$
