Direct variation

If one quantity increases (or decreases) in a

certain ratio, the other quantity increases (or
decreases) in the same ratio
Equation form of direct variation
𝑦 =𝑘𝑥
is a constant, we say that varies directly as .
We also say that is proportional to .
is called constant of variation
or the constant of proportionality
