  1. Direct Variation What is it and how do I know when I see it?

  2. Definition • Direct Variation – a special type of linear relationship that can represented by a function in the form y = kx, • Constant of Variation – is k, the coefficient of x, in the function y = kx.

  3. Direct Variation A recipe for paella calls for 1 cup of rice to make 5 servings. In other words, a chef needs 1 cup of rice for every 5 servings. The equation y = 5x describes this relationship. In this relationship, the number of servings varies directly with the number of cups of rice.

  4. So, in a direct variation, the ratio is equal to the constant of variation. Determine Direct Variation from a Table What happens if you solve y = kx for k? y = kx Divide both sides by x (x ≠ 0).

  5. This is a direct variation because is the same for each ordered pair. Example: Determine Direct Variation from a Table Tell whether the relationship is a direct variation. Explain. Find for each ordered pair.

  6. Examples of Direct Variation: What is the constant of variation of the table above? Since y = kx we can say Therefore: 12/6=k or k = 2 14/7=k or k = 2 16/8=k or k =2 Note k stays constant. y = 2x is the equation!

  7. Examples of Direct Variation: What is the constant of variation of the table above? Since y = kx we can say Therefore: 30/10=k or k = 3 15/5=k or k = 3 9/3=k or k =3 Note k stays constant. y = 3x is the equation!

  8. Answer Now What is the constant of variation for the following direct variation? • 2 • -2 • -½ • ½

  9. Is this a direct variation? If yes, give the constant of variation (k) and the equation. No! The k values are different!

  10. Answer Now Which is the equation that describes the following table of values? • y = -2x • y = 2x • y = ½ x • xy = 200

  11. We can find the constant of proportionality from a table of values, equation and a graph. In a table, simplify any one of the ratios.

  12. Example: Find the constant of proportionality:

  13. Using Direct Variation to find unknowns (y = kx) Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 28 when x=7, Find x when y = 52. HOW??? 2 step process 1. Find the constant variation k = y/x or k = 28/7 = 4 k=4 2. Use y = kx. Find the unknown (x). 52= 4x or 52/4 = x x= 13 Therefore: X =13 when Y=52

  14. We can find the constant of proportionality from a table of values, equation and a graph. In a table, simplify any one of the ratios.

  26. Constant of Proportionality The graph of a proportional relationship is a straight line that passes through the origin. Proportional quantities can be described by the equation y= kx, where k is a constant ratio.

  27. Constant of Proportionality Equation for constant of proportionality is y = kx We can tell that the relationship is directly proportional by looking at the graph. The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin.
