A direct variation function contains the points (–8, –6) and (12, 9). Which equation represents the function?

A. y = –4/3x
B. y = –3/4x
C. y = 3/4x
D. y = 4/3x

Answer:

Option C. [tex]y=(3/4)x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

so

Find the value of the constant k

For the point (-8,-6)

[tex]k=y/x=(-6/-8)=3/4[/tex]

For the point (12,9)

[tex]k=y/x=(9/12)=3/4[/tex]

Note A single point was required to find the constant k (because the line passes through the origin)

The equation is equal to

[tex]y=(3/4)x[/tex]
