Answer:

(a) x = -2y

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 NOT an example of direct variation.

-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 NOT an example of direct variation.

(e) y = 0.3x + 1.6

1.6 is being added to 0.3x, so it is NOT an example of direct variation.

(f) y - 2 = x

y = x + 2
2 is being added to x, so it is NOT an example of direct variation.

The following equations are examples of direct variation:

x = -2y
3x - 2y = 0

-2y = -3x

There are 60 minutes in an hour. The total number of minutes is a function of the number of hours, as shown in the table. Does t

patriot [66]

The answer is a. It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change. This can be done the opposite way, but lets use minutes as x and hours as y. Every time y increases by 1, x increases by 60. This means there is a constant rate of change of 1 (rise) over 60 (run). A linear equation must have a constant rate of change.

Oumou is buying tile for her kitchen. The area of Oumou’s rectangular kitchen, in square feet, can be found by using the express

SOVA2 [1]

Explanation: “The distributive property is where a number or value is distributed into a whole equation. Based on the work below as you can see I “distributed” 5 to (3m+4n) meaning I multiplied 5&3m and 5&4n, when I multiply 5&3 that give me 15, and when I multiply 5&4 that gives me 20. So when finally simplified my new equation is 15m+20n”

Make sure when you is the distributive property that you always add the variables because it will be wrong.
