Algebra Direct Variation
Direct Variation Model The two variables x and y are said to vary directly if their relationship is: y = kx k is the same as m (slope) k is called the constant of variation
The price of hot dogs varies directly with the number of hotdogs you buy You buy hotdogs. x represents the number of hotdogs you buy. y represents the price you pay. y = kx Let’s figure out k, the price per hotdog. Suppose that when you buy 7 hotdogs, it costs $21. Plug that information into the model to solve for k. y = kx 21 = k(7) Now divide both sides by 7 to solve for k. 7 7 k = 3 The price per hotdog is $3. y = 3x You could use this model to find the price (y) for any number of hotdogs (x) you buy.
y The graph of y = 3x goes through the origin. x All direct variation graphs go through the origin, because when x = 0, y= 0 also.
y (price) y = 3x . (3,9) When you buy 3 hotdogs, you pay $9 . (2,6) When you buy 2 hotdogs, you pay $6 . (1,3) When you buy 1 hotdog, you pay $3 . x (number of hotdogs) (0,0) When you buy 0 hotdogs, you pay $0
Finding the Constant of Variation (k) STEPS • Plug in the known values for x and y into the model: y = kx • Solve for k • Now write the model y = kx and replace k with the number • Use the model to find y for other values of x if needed
