Create an equation in Function form for the relationship between x and y described in the table from Question 2.
f
(x) = 1.5x
4.
What is the Constant of Variation for this relationship: 4x + y = 0
-4
5.
A line passes through the point (0, 3). Can you determine whether the line represents a Direct Variation? How?
All Direct Variations go through the Origin, and one point is always (0, 0). Since this is a straight
line, there can only be one y value for an x value of zero, so the line does not include (0, 0), and is
not a Direct Variation.

(x) = 3x - 1.5
