Answer:

Explanation:

no but you are very close

you forgot to put the x next to the -4

because if you left it like that than it would be a horizontal line going through the y-axis at -4

the x is very important since it is the input value while y is the output

so y depends on the x

Answer:


\displaystyle YES

Explanation:

The equation you modeled here is
\displaystyle y = -4x,where the y-intercept and x-intercept are both located at the origin. This is what is called direct variation.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

*Just attach the x to the equation because leaving it out would form a horizontal line [zero rate of change (slope)].
