8. A direct variation is a function in the form y = kx where k does not equal 0. Definition
9. Y varies directly as x means that y = kx where k is the constant of variation. Another way of writing this is k = In other words: * the constant of variation (k) in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities.( k = the coefficient of x ) NOTES
17. Practices Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the point ( -3, -6 )

19. Your distance from lightning varies directly with the time it takes you to hear thunder. If you hear thunder 10 seconds after you see the lightning, you are about 2 miles from the lightning. Write an equation for the relationship between time and distance
22. For each table, use the ratio y/x to tell whether y varies directly with x. If it does, write an equation for the direct variation Y / X 5/15 = 1/3 26/3 = 26/3 75 / 1 = 75 150 / 2 = 75 No , the ratio y / x is not the same for all pairs of data .

26. Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 28 when x=7, Find x when y = 52. HOW??? 2 step process 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
27. Practices Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 6 when x=-5, Find y when x = -8. HOW???
28. Given that y varies directly with x, and y = 6 when x=-5, Find y when x = -8. HOW??? 2 step process 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 Using Direct Variation to find unknowns (y = kx)
29. Direct Variation and its graph y = mx +b, m = slope and b = y-intercept With direction variation the equation is y = kx Note: m = k or the constant and b = 0 therefore the graph will always go through…
31. Tell if the following graph is a Direct Variation or not. No Yes No No
32. GROUPS !!! With your group friends, come up with an interesting example that shows direct variation. ( 3 minutes ) FOR EXAMPLE : If you eat a lot , you will be fat
