You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In direct variation, one variable is the other multiplied times a number,
\n" ); document.write( "so when x=0, y=0
\n" ); document.write( "That is only true for answer
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28C%29\"\"highlight%283x=6y%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If youu graph a direct variation function,
\n" ); document.write( "it is a straight line that goes through point (0,0), the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "Direct variation is a special kind of linear relationship.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The other answers show a linear relationship
\n" ); document.write( "that is not a direct variation,
\n" ); document.write( "and if you graphed those functions,
\n" ); document.write( "you would get straight lines that do not go through the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
