if the line runs through the origin it is a direct variation no matter if it is increasing or decreasing

Does every linear realtionship is a variation?

Not every linear relationship is a variation, but every variation is a type of linear relationship. A linear relationship describes a consistent change, often represented by a straight line, while variation specifically refers to a proportional relationship, such as direct or inverse variation. In direct variation, one variable is a constant multiple of another, while in inverse variation, one variable is inversely proportional to another. Thus, while all variations are linear, not all linear relationships imply a strict variation.

If the functional relationship is of the form y = cx where c is the constant of variation. In graphical form, it is a straight line through the origin.


Is a linear function a direct variation?

yes * * * * * No, it is not. In a direct variation, if one of the variables is 0, the other MUST also be 0. In a linear function, they will be the intercepts.
