If you travel at a constant speed and the distance you travel varies directly with your travel timeSuppose in 1.5 hours you can walk 5 miles What is the costant of variation and how did you find this?

You divide the number of miles traveled by the number of hours and the result - the constant of variation - is 3.66 (recurring) miles per hour.

Is distance a function of time?
Definitely. Distance is directly proportional to time, and the proportionality constant is called "speed".
Is direct variation a function?
A direct variation is a situation in which two quantities -- such as hours and pay, or distance and time -- increase or decrease at the same rate. The ratio between the quantities is constant; that is, as one quantity doubles, the other quantity also doubles. so yes it is. -add on- A direct variation is in the form y=ax where a is an constant.
Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
How are distance time graphs useful?
they will show the variation between distance & time
What is the motion away from center or axis?
Motion directly either toward or away from the center is 'radial' motion. Motion where the distance from the center is constant is 'tangential' motion.
Are time and distance directly proportional to each other?
Time and distance traveled are directly proportional only if the velocity of the object in question is constant.
Is distance a function of time?
Definitely. Distance is directly proportional to time, and the proportionality constant is called "speed".
What has a variation in the relationship between two variable quantities with a constant ratio?
The relationship is a linear one. For example when driving at a constant speed, the relationship between distance driven and the time driven is linear with a constant ratio (of the constant speed).
What is an inverse variation?
Two variables, X and Y, are said to be in inverse variation with one another if X*Y is a constant - known as the constant of variation. Typical example: average speed and time taken (for a journey of fixed distance). You double the speed, you halve the time required. You treble the speed the time drops to a third, etc.

How is speed related to time and distance?
Speed, distance and time are related to each other because, speed is directly comparable to distance when time is constant.
When the distance travelled by a body is directly proportional to the time than the body is said to have?
Constant speed. (Acceleration isn't necessarily zero, and velocity isn't necessarily constant.)
Variation in the value of gravity?
Mass and distance alter gravity Mass is directly proportional to the gravitational force, but distance is inversely proportional. (In other words, greater mass means greater force, and greater distance means less force)
When a distance covered by an object is directly proportional to time what does that indicate?
It indicates constant speed. Velocity may or may not be constant, because we don't know anything about changes in direction that may occur.

No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
