11-5 Direct Variation
The graph of a direct-variation equation is always linear and always contains the point (0, 0). The variables x and y either increase together or decrease together.
Helpful Hint
Pre-Algebra
11-5 Direct Variation
Determine whether the data set shows direct variation.

Lesson Review: Part 1
Find each equation of direct variation, given that y varies directly with x.
1. y is 78 when x is 3.
2. x is 45 when y is 5.
3. y is 6 when x is 5.
y = 26x
y = x19
y = x65
