2. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation Identify, write, and graph direct variation. Objective

3. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation A recipe for paella calls for 1 cup of rice to make 5 servings.

4. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation A direct variation is a special type of linear relationship that can be written in the form y = kx, where k is a nonzero constant called the constant of variation.

5. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation Tell whether each equation represents a direct variation. If so, identify the constant of variation. y = 3x 3x + y = 8 –4x + 3y = 0

6. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation Tell whether each equation represents a direct variation. If so, identify the constant of variation. 3y = 4x + 1 3x = –4y

7. Holt Algebra 1 5-5 Direct Variation So, in a direct variation, the ratio is equal to the constant of variation. What happens if you solve y = kx for k?
