Question 57306This question is from textbook
: The ordered pairs are for the same direct variation. Find each missing value.
(-1,2) and (4,y)
How would you do that?? would y be 7 because the difference between -1 and 2 is 3, and 4+3=7???

Question 57305This question is from textbook
: Direct variation: true or false
If you triple an x-value of a direct variation, the y-value also triple.
true of false?? Explain.
I put true becausein y=kx, lets say y=2,k=1,and x=3. If the 3 is tripled, it would become 9, causing the y (or 2) become 6 and also triple. Is this correct???

Question 57304This question is from textbook
: this question has to do with direct variation:
The graph of a direct variation may pass through (-2,4)
True or false. Explain
I think its true because couldn't direct variations be any ordered pairs but 0?? Could I get confirmation on this?

Question 57731: The question says find the domain of (-2,-1,0,2,5)
1.y=3x+2
does that mean replace x with each of the numbers in parenthasis? Wouldn't that be solving for x? Can domains be negative? How would you express the answer? In parenthasis with each answer seperated by a comma?
