Answer:

Direct Variation. Since k is constant (the same for every point), we can find k when given any point by dividing the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate. For example, if y varies directly as x, and y = 6 when x = 2, the constant of variation is k = = 3. Thus, the equation describing this direct variation is y = 3x. Step-by-step explanation:

How do you graph a y-intercept equation? How do you find it in a graph/model/word problem?

ad-work [718]

The y intercept is the initial value, which is graphed on the y axis (or vertical line). In a word problem the y intercept is the original or starting value. In a graph you can find it where the data begins on the vertical axis.
