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
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.
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.
No.

Yes. y = 1x is the same as y = x which is the simplest case of direct variation. If you consider the equation y = mx + b, then a direct variation will always have b = 0 (i.e. the graph goes through the origin). The value of m is called the "constant of variation", and the equation is usually written as y = kx.
An equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) represents a direct variation only when the y-intercept (b) is zero, making it (y = mx). If (b) is non-zero, the equation does not represent a direct variation, which is defined as a linear relationship that passes through the origin. Therefore, it is "sometimes" true that an equation in slope-intercept form represents a direct variation, depending on the value of (b).
Inverse variation does not pass through the origin, however direct variation always passes through the origin.

If the two variables are X and Y then the equation is always of the form Y = cX where c is a non-zero constant.
A subtraction problem can always be written as an addition problem by using the concept of "adding the opposite." For example, the subtraction equation (a - b) can be transformed into the addition equation (a + (-b)). This representation helps to maintain the same numerical relationship while expressing it in a different mathematical form.
A majority of our communication is nonverbal. Through actions, tics, silence, and even a lack of action we are always expressing ourselves.
YES...A direct variation is a linear relationship in which y-intercept is always 0.
The slope of the graph of a direct variation is always positive.
In math, an equation that is always true is called an identity.
