Question

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation. Which explains whether the equation could represent a direct variation

Answer 1

Answer:

y = kx  where k>0

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is in the form

y = kx

where k is a numerical positive constant ( i.e. > 0 )

Answer 2

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : She writes the equation y = 5x - __ with a missing value.

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation.

We have to choose the correct option from the given options that explain that  the equation could represent a direct variation.

When two variables are such that one is a constant multiple of other, we said they are in Direct variation.

That is in form of y = ax , here y and x are in direct variation.

Consider the given equation y = 5x  - __

For the equation to be in direct variation the value of missing term has to be 0.

then equation becomes,

y = 5x

Thus, If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.
