Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation?

Answer:

The function represents a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

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 a linear direct variation the line passes through the origin and the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

Let

$A(0,0)$ ------> the line passes through the origin

$B(2,10)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=10/2=5$

$C(4,20)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=20/4=5$

$D(6,30)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=30/6=5$

$E(8,40)$

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

$y/x=k$ -----> $k=40/8=5$

The value of k is equal in all the points of the table and the line passes through the origin

therefore

The function represents a direct variation

the equation of the direct variation is equal to

$f(x)=5x$

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Let

x ---> the measure of the interior angle

y ---> the measure of the exterior angle

Remember that

the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees

so

$x+y=180^o$ ----> equation A
