A line is drawn through negative 4 comma 3 and 4 comma 3 Which describes whether or not the line represents a direct variation?

A direct variation has the form y = kx, so its graph must pass through the origin (0, 0). The line through (-4, 3) and (4, 3) is horizontal at y = 3, so it does not pass through the origin. Therefore, it does not represent a direct variation; choice A gives the correct reason.
