Question 4 • Mathematics I

A direct variation function contains the points 2 comma 14 and 4 comma 28 Which equation represents the function?

Answer
A
y is equal to x over 14
B
y is equal to 7 x
C
y is equal to x over 7
D
y is equal to 14 x

Explanation

A direct variation has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. Using the point (2, 14), k = 14 ÷ 2 = 7; the other point also gives 28 ÷ 4 = 7. Therefore, the equation is y = 7x, choice B.
