write a direct variation equation for (-5, -1) and graph 3 points

Question

write a direct variation equation for (-5, -1)

Answer 1

General form of direction variation equation y = kx, where k is the variation constant

substitute (-5,-1) for x and y in the above equation to solve for variation constant k

-1 = k* -5

k = 1/5

so y = 1/5x

substitute three values for x, say 0, 5, 10 in above equation and get y (0,1, 2) to get three points to plot (0,0),(5,1),(10,2).
