Answer:
Always a straight line
Step-by-step explanation:
- direct variation means, y ∝ x i.e, y is directly proportional to x.
- let the proportionality constant be m
which is always a straight line passing through origin having slope m
see the graph in the attachment
- therefore option A is correct.
- option B. is wrong because it will cross y axis at the origin
- option C. is wrong because, it cant be a horizontal line always as it depends on the slope "m"
- option D. is also wrong because, you can easily see from the graph that it will intersect origin always.
