I have here pieces of papers.

Yes sir.

papers to its overall length. Understand?
The greater the number of papers, the

The length is shorter

what happens to its length?
As the papers increases, the length also

Very good observation and that has

something to do with our lesson for today
which is direct variation.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation

The number of papers and its overall

length is one of the examples of direct
variation.

2. Discussion

Direct Variation is a kind of variation

which one variable is equal to the constant
times the other.

In direct variation, as one variable

increases or decreases, the other does the
same.

The formula for direct variation is y = kx

where k is constant of variation, y and x
are the variables.

For example: If y varies directly as x. The formula is y = kx, sir.

Find y if k = 2 and x = 10.
y = (k)x
What will be our formula? y = (2)10

Very good, let’s substitute the values of

the constant k and variable x in the y = 20, sir.
formula.

What will be the value of y class?

Good, next is the equation of variation. In

order to get the equation of variation, y = (2) x, sir.
simply substitute the value of the constant
k in the formula y = (k) x.
None sir.
Now, what will be the equation of
variation?

Excellent, any questions or clarifications

before we proceed?

Next example, If a is directly proportional The formula is a = (k)b, sir.

to b and a = 12 when b = 4, find a when b
= 12

What would be the formula to be used

since a is directly proportional to b?
The value of a is 12 and the value of b is 4.
In this case, we need to find first the
constant of variation.
The equation would be 12 = k (4)
We will substitute the value of a and b to
get the value of k. What are the values of
a and b?
The value of k is equal to 3.
Thank you. What would be our new
equation?
The equation of variation is a = (3)b sir.
For us to get the value of k, we will divide
 both sides by 4. Now, what is the value of
k?

Excellent, now what would be the

equation of variation? The equation would be a = 3(12)

Great, then we will substitute the value of

k together with the given value of a to get The value of a is equal to 36, sir.
the value of b in the formula. What will
be our next equation?
None sir.
Based from the equation what would be

Using one of the pairs of values, let’s find 20 = k (2) sir.

the constant of variation. Which pair
should we use?
The constant of variation is equal to10, sir.
Let’s substitute the values of the distance
and time, what would be our equation?
The equation is d = 10t sir.
Divide both sides by 2, what is the
constant of variation?
None sir.
All right, since we already got the
constant of variation. What would be the
equation which describes the relation?

Very good. Do you have any questions or

clarifications?

3. Analysis

clarifications, let’s have an activity called

 Now, can someone relate the concept of
direct variation in to real life situation? Direct Variation is a kind of variation
which one variable is equal to the constant
times the other.

The formula is y = kx where k is the

What is the formula for Direct Variation?

Very well said. Do you have any

discussed?

If you don’t have any questions and

clarifications. Kindly get ½ sheet of paper
and answer this.

IV. Evaluation

1. If y varies directly as x and y = 24 when x = 6, find the variation

constant and the equation of variation.

Solution:

y = kx

24 = 6k

k = 24
6

k=4

equation of variation: y = 4x

2. If y varies directly as x, and x = 9 when y = 15, find y when x = 33.

Solution:
y= kx

15 = k9

k = 5/3

equation of variation: y = (5/3) x

y = 5/3 (33)

y = 55

The amount of money raised at the charity fundraiser is directly proportional to the number
of attendees. The amount of money raised for 5 attendees was ₱100.00, how much money
will be raised for 60 attendees?
