How do you know if the equation is a direct variation?
When two variables are related in such a way that the ratio of their values always remains the same, the two variables are said to be in direct variation. y=2x is direct variation y=x+2 is not direct variation
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).
How do you find if a table is direct variation or inverse variation?
Suppose the two variables are denoted by X and Y. If Y is a constant multiple of X, that is Y = c*X, then the variation is direct. If the value of X*Y is a constant, that is Y = c/X, then the variation in inverse.
How do you find the equation for a direct variation?
find the direct variation equation 3x+y=0
What is direct square variation?
A variable, Y, is in direct square variation with a variable, X, if Y = kX2 where k is some (non-zero) constant.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.
Is y equals 2x 9 a direct variation?
No.
How do you know if the equation is a direct variation?

Is 2x plus 3y equals 0 a direct variation?
Direct variation refers to two variable quantities have a constant (unchanged) ratio, in which a variable "varies directly with the other."In order to have a direct variation, the constant of variation must be not equal to 0 in the equation y=kx, where k is the constant.When you try to put 2x+3y=0 into that formula (y= form), you get:2x+3y=03y=-2x ;Subtract the 2xy=(-2/3)x ;Divide by 3Your constant of variation is -2/3, and since it is less than 0, it is does variate directly. Therefore, y varies directly as x.

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).
Is y equals 3x direct variation?
Yes, it is direct variation.
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 .
What is the difference direct variation and inverse variation?
Direct variation is the ratio of two variable is constant. Inverse variation is when the product of two variable is constant. For example, direct variation is y = kx and indirect variation would be y = k/x .
Can you have a negative coefficient in a direct variation?
Yes, you can have a negative coefficient in a direct variation. So if you had y = -7x, that would be a direct variation. If you have y = -x, I do not know, if that is what you mean. Hope it helped.
Is the problem y equals 3x a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
y=3x is a direct variation in that y varies directly with x by a factor of 3. Any linear equation (a polynomial of degree 1, which is a polynomial equation with a highest exponent of 1), is a direct variation of y to x by some constant, and this constant is simply the coefficient of the "x" term. Other examples: y=(1/2)x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is 1/2 y=-9x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is -9
Does y equals 2x - 1 have a constant of variation?
