Answers:

choice A) y = 0x

choice D) y = 0/x

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A is the same as y = 0 because 0x turns into 0. Multiplying 0 with any number always leads to 0.

Similarly, choice D is the same as y = 0 as well. Dividing 0 over any nonzero value leads to 0. Note the key term "nonzero" here. We cannot have 0 in the denominator. So x = 0 is not allowed for choice D.

So for any nonzero x, we have 0x and 0/x result in the same thing.

Extra info:

Choice B can be ruled out because something like x = 2 leads to y = 2.

Choice C is ruled out because we can never have 0 in the denominator.
