Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation? This function represents a direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $5 per hour. This function represents a direct variation because it has a positive, constant rate of change of $10 per hour. O This function does not represent a direct variation because it does not represent the cost for 1 hour. O This function does not represent a direct variation because the function rule for the cost is to add $10, not multiply by a constant. Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation ? This function represents a direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $ 5 per hour . This function represents a direct variation because it has a positive , constant rate of change of $ 10 per hour . O This function does not represent a direct variation because it does not represent the cost for 1 hour . O This function does not represent a direct variation because the function rule for the cost is to add $ 10 , not multiply by a constant .

The answer choice which explains whether the function is a direct variation or not is; This function represents a direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $5 per hour.

Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation?

It follows from the task content that the function passes through the origin and hence, if the function was represents as a linear function, it's y-intercept would be zero.

Furthermore, the slope, otherwise termed it's rate of chage is constant and is evaluated as; $5 per hour. Hence, the aforementioned form the basis for the classification of the function as a direct variation.
