How do you solve the direct variation y equals 5x plus 1?
y = 5x + 1 is nota direct variation.y = 5x + 1 is nota direct variation.y = 5x + 1 is nota direct variation.y = 5x + 1 is nota direct variation.
Does y plus 2 equals x show direct variation?
No, y+2=x does not show direct variation. In direction variation you need to be able to multiply y by something to get x. In the question y+2=x, you have to add 2 to y to get x, which is not multiplying.)
Is the problem y equals 3x a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
y=3x is a direct variation in that y varies directly with x by a factor of 3. Any linear equation (a polynomial of degree 1, which is a polynomial equation with a highest exponent of 1), is a direct variation of y to x by some constant, and this constant is simply the coefficient of the "x" term. Other examples: y=(1/2)x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is 1/2 y=-9x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is -9
Does y vary directly with x in the equation y equals 5x?
Yes, this is an example of direct variation.A:This is a direct variation because both are in the numerator of a fraction and on opposite sides of the = sign. If they are both on the same side of the equals sign, then one would have to be in the numerator and the other in the denominator for them to be a direct variation.
What is parallel to 5x equals y-2?
