Answer:

5/4 or 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line containing (2,6) & (7,2):

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-6)/(7-2)

= -4/5

For Perpendicular lines,

m1×m2 = -1

(-4/5)×m2 = -1

m2 = -1 × (-5/4)

m2 = 5/4 or 1.25

Answer:

(a) x = -2y

(c) 3x - 2y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if an equation is a direct variation equation if it can be written in the format y = kx.

Note that there is no addition and subtraction in this equation.

Let's put these equations in the form y = kx.

(a) x = -2y

  • y = x/-2 → y = -1/2x
  • This is equivalent to multiplying x by -1/2, so this is an example of direct variation.

(b) x + 2y = 12

  • 2y = 12 - x
  • y = 6 - 1/2x
  • This is not in the form y = kx since we are adding 6 to -1/2x. Therefore, this is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(c) 3x - 2y = 0

  • -2y = -3x
  • y = 3/2x
  • This follows the format of y = kx, so it is an example of direct variation.

(d) 5x² + y = 0

  • y = -5x²
  • This is not in the form of y = kx, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(e) y = 0.3x + 1.6

  • 1.6 is being added to 0.3x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(f) y - 2 = x

  • y = x + 2
  • 2 is being added to x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

The following equations are examples of direct variation:

  • x = -2y
  • 3x - 2y = 0
