it is just that- a linear function that goes through ther origin. ======================================================= Any equation y = ax, where a is a constant, will do so.

No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.


What shape does the grapg of a linear relationship take?

A straight line that goes through the origin.


What if y equals kx?

You then have a linear relationship, or a direct variation. A straight line through the origin.


Why isn't every linear relationship a direct variation?

The line doesn't go 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.


What do all direct variation graphs have in common?

All direct variation graphs are linear and they all go through the origin.
