Identify as a direct variation, inverse variation or neither. y = 6x

y=6x is a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation the relation between two variable is direct. It means y varies directly as x.

Where, k is constant of proportionality.

In inverse variation the relation between two variable is inversely proportional. It means y varies inversely as x.

Where, k is constant of proportionality.

The given function is

It is direct variation because y varies directly as x and constant of proportionality is 6.

Therefore, y=6x is a direct variation.

part a

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
