The graph of a linear relationship will always pass through the origin?
Not always
Does the graph of a direct variation pass through the origin?
yes, a graph of a direct variation must pass through the origin because direct variation is always in form of y=mx where x and y are variables and m is a constant.
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 can you tell by examining a graph if a line represents a direct variation?
The graph must be linear and pass thru the origin
Why does the graph of an equation expressing direct variation always pass through the origin?
For a direct variation, y=kx where k is the constant of variation if x =0 then y=0 and the graph of y=kx passes through the origin. -Indiana Prentice Hall Algebra 2 Text Book.
