Direct Variation Definition-an equation in the form y = kx, where k ≠ 0 k is the constant of the variation or the constant of proportionality k is also the slope of the equation
What is the constant variation? The constant is Check find the slope Find slope in equation
Find the slope
Graph y = x. Step 1 Write the slope as a ratio. Step 2Graph (0, 0). Step 3From the point (0, 0), move up 3 units and right 5 units. Draw a dot. Step 4Draw a line connecting the points. Given an equation, graph
Write and Solve Direct Variation Suppose y varies directly as x, and y=63 and x=9 y=kx 63=k(9) 7=k Suppose y varies directly as x, and y=72 and x=8 y=kx 72=k(8) 9=k
Write and Solve Direct Variation Suppose y varies directly as x, and y = -10 when x = 8. Suppose y varies directly as x, and y = -319 when x = 29. If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 5, find x when y = 42.
