it is just that- a linear function that goes through ther origin.

=======================================================

Any equation y = ax, where a is a constant, will do so.

A straight line that goes through the origin.


How does the constant of variation affects the appearance of the graph of a direct variation function?

The formula direct variation is xk=y, where k is the constant of variation.Direct variation functions always pass through the origin. Direct variation functions are linear functions (goes in a straight line), except that they pass through the origin. Regular linear functions don't pass through the origin. That is the only difference.


How do you graph the linear equation x equals y?

the slope is 1, and goes through the origin. It's a straight, diagonal line.


Does a derivative exist if the graph goes through the origin?

It may or may not exist. Whether or not the graph goes through the origin does not in any way affect whether or not it has a derivative. A function has a derivative if it has no discontinuities, cusps, sharp corners, or vertical tangents.


How do you draw a continuous linear decreasing function?

A continuous linear decreasing function is a line that goes on forever and has a negative slope (is downhill from left to right). For example, the line y = -x is a continuous linear decreasing function.

When graphing a linear inequality when can you NOT use (0 0) as a test point to determine which side of a boundary line to shade?

When the line goes through the origin like y>3x. Notice that there is no constant added to the end.


What is the name of the line that goes through the origin?

The x and y axes


What is the constant of proportionality of the linear function?

The linear function has the form y=mx+b, which I expect you have heard of. The 'b' is the y-intercept, and the 'm' is the slope. A constant of proportionality is something you have with direct variation, which is where the line goes through (0,0). This happens when 'b' equals zero. So now the equation is just y=mx, and the constant of proportionality is 'm'.
