How do the equations y = mx and y =kx compare plz help me bad answers will be reported

Hey there!

The difference is that y = kx means the "y directly varies with x", which means that y/x = k. Also, the line of the graph passes directly through the origin. Or, in other words, there is no y - intercept other than (0, 0)

y = mx could have a y - intercept not at the origin. If you have an equation in slope - intercept form, such as y = 5x + 3, than "y" does not directly vary with "x", because you can't get "m" by doing y/x, because first you have to subtract 3. In order to actually find "m", you would have to do (y - 3) / x = m (or, in this case, 5).

Hope this helps! Good luck and have a great day!

step-by-step explanation:

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
