Question

A line is drawn through (–4, 3) and (4, 3). Which describes whether or not the line represents a direct variation?The line represents a direct variation because -4/3=4/3 .The line represents a direct variation because it is horizontal.The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.The line does not represent a direct variation because –4(3) ≠ 4(3).

Answer 1

The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.

Explanation:

The two points are on the horizontal line y=3. It does not go through the origin and does not represent a function y = kx for any value of k. The line does not represent direct variation.
