Direct Variation
Direct Variation is when two variables can be expressed as y=kx where k is a constant and k is not 0.
k is called the constant of variation
Ex. y = 5x is direct variation while y = x + 5 is not
Example 1
Does the equation represent a direct variation? 2x – 3y = 0
-x + y = 4
Example 2
Graph a direct variation equation Y=2/3 x
y = -3x
Write a direct variation Equation
Start with y = kx Substitute a known x and y Solve for k
Example 3
Write the equation for the
direct variation represented
in the graph.
