The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

2x+4y=3    Eqn 1

x+3y=13    Eqn 2

When we use subtraction-addition method, we make one of the variables same with opposite signs so that only one variable remains after addition or subtraction.

In the given problem, we will multiply Eqn 2 with "-2" so that the x variables become equal and then we can add both the equations and solve for y.

Therefore,

The first step will be to multiply the second equation by -2 to solve the linear system of equations.

The right answer is Option D.

Which set of ordered pairs is not a direct variation?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The first option is not a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of a direct variation, as one value increases, the other value increases too

Or as one value decreases, the other value decreases

A direct variation is of the form;

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is the coefficient of variation that must be a constant value all through the set of values

The values we are comparing here are the x and y values

So

let us take a look at the options;

The first option is not a direct variation

For the first option, the rate of increase is not constant;

2/6 = 1/3 , 8/12 = 2/3 , 14/18 = 7/9

for the second;

the ratio is 1 to 1

for the third;

3/6 = 1/2 ; 6/12 = 1/2; 9/18 = 1/2

for the fourth;

2/6 = 1/3, 4/12 = 1/3 , 6/18 = 1/3
