Question

How do you write a direct variation equation that passes through the point (5,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation equation takes the form y=m⋅x. Where m is a constant value.

For a direct variation equation passing through (x,y)=(5,−6)

Substitute for y and x in y=mx. we get;

−6=m⋅(5)

Hence, m=−6/5

The direct variation equation is

y=(−6/5)x

Can also be written as;

5y=−6x
