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).ent a direct variation because –4(3) ≠ 4(3).

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

It is right on edg

Answer 2

Line does not represent direct variation.

Explanation:

If the line goes thru the origin, it represents direct variation. Otherwise it does not.

Start by finding the slope of this line:

As we move from (-4,3) to (4,3), x increases by 8 but y does not change. Thus, the slope is 0/8, or just 0. Thus, the equation of this line is y = 3, which does NOT go thru the origin; thus, the points given do NOT represent direct variation.
