Answer:

Represents a direct variation

Explanation:

y = 2/7x

To find x-intercept/zero, substitute

y = 0

0 = 2/7x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7/2

0 = x

Swap the sides of the equation

x = 0

Solution

x = 0

This is a direct variation because when x = 0. Y has to = 0 as well and it is so that makes this equation a direct variation.

direct variation - mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other
