Savannah Lee · Answer 1

y=-4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y=3

4x gets switched to the other side so that it is by its self

which then the equation is going to be y=-4x+3 bc the sin changes

Julie Larson · Answer 2

No, this is not direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y = 3

Solve for y

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x+y = - 4x+3

y = - 4x+3

This is not a direct variation because we are adding 3

The form of direct variation is y = kx
