The more time I drive (at a
constant rate), the more distance
I cover.
If you increase a recipe for more
people, the more of ingredients
you need.
(In a computer shop)The more
hours you play online games, the
more money you pay.
3. Do you Agree?
The more apparels I purchase, the
more money it costs.
The less time you study, the lower
scores you will get in the exam.
The less water you drink, the less
trips to the bathroom you have to
make.
The more time you play temple run,
the longer your cellphone battery
stays.

7. Definition: y varies
directly as x means that y = kx where y is the
dependent variable, x is the independent
variable and k is the constant of variation.
In other words:
* As x increases in value, y increases or
* As x decreases in value, y decreases.
Direct Variation
Another way of writing this is k =
𝒚
𝒙
8. Examples of Direct Variation y = kx:
x y
6 12
7 14
8 16
Note: x increases,
6 , 7 , 8
And y increases.
12, 14, 16
What is the constant of variation of the table above?
Since y = kx we can say k =
𝒚
𝒙
Therefore:
12/6=k or k = 2 14/7=k or k = 2
16/8=k or k = 2
EQUATION:
y = 2x
What have you noticed of
the value of k?

What is the constant of variation of the table above?
Since y = kx we can say k =

30/10 = k or k = 3 15/5=k or k = 3
9/3 = k or k =3
y = 3x is the
equation

of the value of k?
10. Note: x decreases,
-4, -16, -40
And y decreases.
-1, -4, -10
What is the constant of variation of the table above?
Since y = kx we can say k =

-1/-4=k or k = ¼ -4/-16=k or k = ¼
-10/-40=k or k = ¼
y = ¼ x is the
equation!

17. 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
x y
7 28
? 52
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
18. Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 3 when
x = 9, Find y when x = 40.5. HOW???
2 - step process x y
9 3
40.5 ?
1. Find the constant variation.
k = y/x or k = 3/9 = 1/3
k = 1/3
2. Use y = kx. Find the unknown (x).
y = (1/3)40.5
y= 13.5
Therefore:
x = 40.5 when y = 13.5
Using Direct Variation to find unknowns (y = kx)
19. Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 6 when
x = -5, Find y when x = - 8. HOW???
2 - step process
x y
-5 6
-8 ?
1. Find the constant variation.
k = y/x or k = 6/-5 = -1.2
k = -1.2
2. Use y = kx. Find the unknown (x).
y= -1.2(-8)
x= 9.6
Therefore:
x = -8 when y = 9.6

A car uses 8 liters of gasoline
to travel 160 km. How much
gasoline will the car use to
travel 400 km?
Step One:
Find points in table
x (gas) y (km)
8 160
? 400
Step Two: Find the constant
variation and equation:
k = y/x or k = 160/8 or 20

Step Three: Use the equation
to find the unknown.
400 = 20x
400 = 20x
20 20
or x = 20 liters
