Question 6 • Mathematics 8

Which equation represents a direct variation?

Answer
A
x minus y is equal to 5
B
y is equal to 0 point 5 x
C
x y is equal to 5
D
y is equal to x plus 5

Explanation

A direct variation has the form y = kx, where k is a constant. Choice C, y = 0.5x, matches this form, with constant of variation k = 0.5. The other equations include an added constant or describe an inverse variation, so they are not direct variations.
