Which explains whether or not the graph represents a direct variation? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 0) and (1, 3). The graph has a constant of variation of 3, so it represents a direct variation. The graph has a slope of 3, so it represents a direct variation. The graph has a positive slope, so it does not represent a direct variation. The graph does not begin at the origin, so it does not represent a direct variation.
