When two variables are related in such a way that the ratio of their values always remains the same, the two variables are said to be in direct variation.
y=2x is direct variation
y=x+2 is not direct variation
find the direct variation equation 3x+y=0
Without the rest of the equation it is not possible to tell. * * * * * If the equation is in the form y = k*x where k is a non-zero constant, then it is.
no. It must be an equation of the form y = kx.
Oh, dude, direct variation is when two variables change in the same way. In this case, 5x + 3 = 8y + 3, so technically they are changing in the same way by adding 3 to both sides. So, yeah, I guess you could say it's a direct variation, but like, who really cares, right?
Direct variation is not a special case.
There are three ways: a table, a graph, and an equation.
find the direct variation equation 3x+y=0
There is only one equation that is given in the question and that equation is not a direct variation.
No. This is not true. It is false. The equation is an example of direct variation.

Y=1/x
equation, table or a graph
Graphs of direct variation pass through the origin so the y-intercept would be 0.
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
For a direct variation equation the constant MUST be 0. Then the ratio of a pair of values of the two variables is the slope.
Without an equality sign the information given does not represent an equation.
Without an equality sign the given expression can't be considered to be an equation.
