Question

How do you write the equation of a direct variation that includes the point (-6,1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanationn;

Direct variation equations take the form; y=kx where k is a constant.

The value of K is determined by substituting for the values of x and y in the equation , y=kx.

substituting;

(x,y)=(-6,1).

1=k×-6

Dividing both sides by -6

-1/6=k×-6/-6

-1/6=k*1 hence k=-1/6

Hence, the equation that includes point (-6,1) is y=-1/6*x
