Direct Variation 88 Warm Up Use the point-slope form of each equation to identify a point the line passes through and the slope of the line. 1. y – 3 = – (x – 9) 2. y + 2 = (x – 5) 3. y – 9 = –2(x + 4) 4. y – 5 = – (x + 7) Point: Slope:

Direct Variation 88 Vocabulary direct variation constant of proportionality Learn to recognize direct variation by graphing tables of data and checking for constant ratios.

Direct Variation 88 A direct variation is a linear function that can be written as y = kx, where k is a nonzero constant called the constant of variation. The constant of variation is also called the constant of proportionality. Reading Math

Direct Variation 88 Determine whether the data set shows direct variation. Additional Example 1A: Determining Whether a Data Set Varies Directly

Direct Variation 88 Make a graph that shows the relationship between Adam’s age and his length. The graph is not linear. Additional Example 1A Continued

Direct Variation 88 You can also compare ratios to see if a direct variation occurs = ? ≠ 264 The ratios are not proportional. The relationship of the data is not a direct variation. Additional Example 1A Continued

Direct Variation 88 Find each equation of direct variation, given that y varies directly with x. y is 54 when x is 6 Additional Example 2A: Finding Equations of Direct Variation y = kx 54 = k  6 9 = k y = 9x y varies directly with x. Substitute for x and y. Solve for k. Substitute 9 for k in the original equation.

Direct Variation 88 x is 12 when y is 15 Additional Example 2B: Finding Equations of Direct Variation y = kx 15 = k  12 y varies directly with x. Substitute for x and y. Solve for k. = k 5 4 Substitute for k in the original equation. 5 4 y = x 5 4
