anonymous · Answer

Can you tell me what makes it Direct?

hero · Answer

The formula for direct variation is 
y/x = k

The set of data represents direct variation if each (x,y) pair produces the same k. 

The formula for indirect variation is
xy = k

The set of data represents indirect variation if each (x,y) pair produces the same k

But its direct? @Hero

anonymous · Answer

yes

hero · Answer

@Partycool, I gave you information to help you understand both.

hero · Answer

I'm not interested in just giving you the answer, but helping you understand how to figure it out on your own.

hero · Answer

Knowing the formulas for both kinds of variation will help. All you have to do is just test it out on your own using the formulas and you will be able to figure out which kind of variation is correct.

hero · Answer

@Partycool, have you tried it yet?

anonymous · Answer

I have no idea how to do what you said. Or how that made it direct. All it did was confuse me more than the book did. But thank you for trying to help.
