Does anyone can explain Direct Variation to me? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

direct variation you use the formula y=kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to graph a direct varition u live always get a straight line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know, but how do you do this; y = 9 1/3 when x = -1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do uhave to graph it? or juss solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the directions are...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose "y" varies directly with "x". Write a direct variation equation that relates "x" and "y". Then find the value of "y" when x = 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you know the basic linear equation, y=mx+b, direct variation is just a special case of that when b=0, i.e. the line always goes through the origin.
