1. Increases
2. Decreases
3. Stays the same
2.
Classify this equation as direct variation, inverse variation, or neither.
$y = 1/3 x$
1. Direct variation
2. Inverse variation
3. Neither
3.
This equation represents a direct variation.
$2x=y$
1. True
2. False
4.
The equation represents a direct variation.
$6x+4=y$
1. True
2. False
5.
Which equation is a direct variation?
