Question

Determine if direct variation x-2y=0

Answer 1

x-2y=0 is a direct variation

Explanation:

Direct variation is of the form

y= kx

Can we get the equation in that form

x-2y =0

Add 2y to each side

x-2y+2y =0_2y

x=2y

Divide each side by 2

x/2 = 2y/2

1/2x =y

Flip the sides

y = 1/2x

This is of the form y= kx where k = 1/2

x-2y=0 is a direct variation
