Question

Explain why the graph below does not represent a direct variation.

a. the line does not intercept the x-axis
b. the line intercepts the v-axis
c. the line does not go through the origin
d. the line is not straight

Answer 1

a. the line does not intercept the x-axis. But I could be wrong though.

Explanation:

Answer 2

the answer is C the line does not go through the origin.

a is incorrect because the line does intercept the x-axis but its just not shown in the frame.

b is incorrect because the line has to intercept the y-axis even at the point (0,0)

d is incorrect because a direct variation means that the line shouldnt be straight because as one variable increase the other increases and vise versa.
