Lydia writes the equation below with a missing value. y = 5 x minus box

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation. Which explains whether the equation could represent a direct variation?
If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.
If she puts 5 in the box she would have a direct variation.
The equation is not of the form y = k x, so it cannot represent a direct variation.
The equation has a minus sign, so it cannot represent a direct variation.

Stu and ambrose are working together on a study of whether diet is related to students' mental health. first, they randomly select 10 students from the student center and 10 students from the office of counseling and psychological services. then, they ask students to rate their diet in terms of healthiness on a scale of 1-100 before completing a 20-item mental health survey. a) name one of the constructs being studied b) how was the construct you named above operationally defined in this experiment? e) was the variable you described above their independent variable, their dependent variable, or a controlled variable? d) what is a confounding variable? what is a potential confound in this study?
