How do you find direct variation?
use the formula y=kx
Is the constant of variation the same as slope?
yes y=kx is the formula for direct variation, and k represents constant of variation which can also be called slope.
What is indirect variation?
The constant of variation in an http://wiki.answers.com/Q/inverse-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) product between two variable quantities.The formula for indirect variation is xy = k..where k is the constant of variation.The constant of variation in a http://wiki.answers.com/Q/direct-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two http://wiki.answers.com/Q/variables.html quantities. The formula for direct variation is y = kx..where k is the constant of variation.
When two quantities form a direct variation what is it called?
A direct variation (!) or direct reelationship.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.
What is the formula for direct variation?
2y=3x
What does the k represent in the direct variation ykx?
The constant of variation in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities. The formula for direct variation is. y=kx (or y=kx ) where k is the constant of variation .

How does the constant of variation affects the appearance of the graph of a direct variation function?
The formula direct variation is xk=y, where k is the constant of variation.Direct variation functions always pass through the origin. Direct variation functions are linear functions (goes in a straight line), except that they pass through the origin. Regular linear functions don't pass through the origin. That is the only difference.

A direct variation (!) or direct reelationship.
Is direct variation a special case?
Direct variation is not a special case.
Is y equals 3x direct variation?
Yes, it is direct variation.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.
Does every linear equasion represent a direct variation relationship?
I have recently been doing all these direct variation problems but not every linear relationship is a direct variation... But every direct variation is a linear relation!
How do you do a direct variation with an inverse variation problem?
If a variable X is in inverse variation with a variable Y, then it is in direct variation with the variable (1/Y).
