    Direct variation occurs when two quantities vary proportionally such that one quantity increases as the other increases by a constant factor. The direct variation equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. To determine if data shows direct variation, set up proportions using corresponding x and y values and check if the proportions are equal. Equations of direct variation can be found by setting up the direct variation equation with known x and y values and solving for the constant k.

    Direct Variation
    • Direct Variation is when two variable
    quantities are related proportionally by a
    constant positive ratio.
    • EX.
    • 8=k
    • 16 = 2k
    • 24 = 3k
    • And so on…..
    Direct Variation
    • The equation for direct variation is

    • K is the constant ratio


    Direct Variation
    • Determine if the data shows direct variation.

    • To find if there is a direct variation choose two sets of data


    and set up a proportion. If they are equal it is a direct
    variation, if they are not equal, it is not a direct variation.

    • Determine if the data shows direct variation.

    Finding Equations of Direct Variation
    • Find each equation of direct variation, given
    that y varies directly with x.
    • EX A. y is 52 when x is 4
    • y = kx
    • 52 = k · 4
    • ÷4 ÷4
    • 13 = k
    • y = 13x
    Finding Equations of Direct Variation
    • Find each equation of direct variation, given
    that y varies directly with x.
    • EX A. x is 10 when y is 15
    • y = kx
    • 15 = k · 10
    • ÷10 ÷10
    • 3/2 = k
    • y = 3/2x
