no. It must be an equation of the form y = kx.

Is y 4x 1 a direct variation?

The equation ( y = 4x + 1 ) is not a direct variation. In a direct variation, the relationship can be expressed in the form ( y = kx ), where ( k ) is a constant and there is no constant term added or subtracted. Since this equation includes the constant term ( +1 ), it does not meet the criteria for direct variation.


Is y4x a direct variation?

To determine if ( y = kx ) represents a direct variation, ( y ) must vary directly as ( x ) with a constant ratio ( k ). The expression ( y = 4x ) indicates that ( y ) is directly proportional to ( x ) with a constant of variation ( k = 4 ). Thus, yes, ( y = 4x ) is indeed a direct variation.


What is the equation of direct variation if y is 16 when x is 20?

The equation can be written as y = 16x/20 which can be simplified to y = 4x/5


Is y equals 2x 9 a direct variation?

No.


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


What is the constant of variation in y equals -4x?

It is -4.


How do you do a direct variation with an inverse variation problem?

If a variable X is in inverse variation with a variable Y, then it is in direct variation with the variable (1/Y).


Is y equals 3x direct variation?

Yes, it is direct variation.


Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?

No, it is not a direct variation.


What does the k represent in the direct variation ykx?

The constant of variation in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities. The formula for direct variation is. y=kx (or y=kx ) where k is the constant of variation .


What is the difference direct variation and inverse variation?

Direct variation is the ratio of two variable is constant. Inverse variation is when the product of two variable is constant. For example, direct variation is y = kx and indirect variation would be y = k/x .


What is the answer to 4x plus y equals 9 and 7x-8y equals 6?

4x + y = 9 so that y = 9 - 4x 7x - 8y = 6 7x - 8*(9-4x) = 6 7x - 72 + 32x = 6 39x = 78 x = 2 Then y = 9 - 4x = 9-4*2 = 9-8 = 1
