Direct Variation A type of Linear Function
Direct Variation A function in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. The variables y and x, “vary directly”! If the equation looks like y = kx, then it is DIRECT VARIATION!
Constant of Variation, k The constant of variation can be found by dividing y by x.
Is it DV? Is the equation Direct Variation? –Identify the constant k in each equation if it represents direct variation. 1. Y = 3x 2. Y = 4x Y = x 4. 2y = 8x 5. 5x + 2y = x – y = 7
More facts about Direct Variation If the graph has the point (0,0), then it is DIRECT VARIATION!
Are these direct variation? a) b) c)
Writing a Direct Variation Equation Ex. 1: Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the point: (4, -3) Step1: Start with the direct variation equation Step 2: Substitute the x and y in the ordered pair for the x and y in the equation. Step 3: Solve for k. Step 4: Write the equation substituting k (in step 3) for k in the equation
You try! 2. Write a direct variation through the point (5, 2) 3. Write a direct variation through the point (-6, -6) 4. Write a direct variation through the point (-3, -12)
Direct Variation in a Table The value of k must be the same for all points!
Do the values vary directly?
