A. y = 5x B) 2x + 3y = 0 C) 4x + y = 8 1 Identifying Direct Variations from Equations Tell whether each equation represents a direct variation. If so, identify the constant of variation. A y = 4x This equation represents a direct variation because it is in the form y = kx. The constant of variation is 4. B -3x + 5y = 0-3x + 5y = 0 Solve the equation for y. + 3x + 3x Since -3x is added to 5y, add 3x to both sides. 5y = 3x _ 5y _ Since y is multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5. 5 = 3x 5 y = 3_ 5 x This equation represents a direct variation because it can be written in the form y = kx. The constant of variation is 3 5. C 2x + y = 10 2x + y = 10 Solve the equation for y. - 2x - 2x Since 2x is added to y, subtract 2x from both sides. y = -2x + 10 This equation does not represent a direct variation because it cannot be written in the form y = kx. Parent: How is your math homework going? Child: Well, m is negative, so at least I m on the down slope!

A x 1 3 5 y 6 18 30 Method 1 Write an equation. y = 6x Each y-value is 6 times the corresponding x-value. This is a direct variation because it can be written as y = kx, where k = 6. Method 2 Find y x for each ordered pair. 6_ 1 = 6 _ 18 3 = 6 30_ 5 = 6 This is a direct variation because y x B x 2 4 8 y -2 0 4 Method 1 Write an equation. y = x - 4 is the same for each ordered pair. Each y-value is 4 less than the corresponding x-value. This is not a direct variation because it cannot be written as y = kx. Method 2 Find y x for each ordered pair. _-2 2 = -1 0_ 4 = 0 4_ 1_ 8 = 2 This is not a direct variation because y x is not the same for all ordered pairs. Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward.

Page! 6 of! 9 3 Writing and Solving Direct Variation Equations The value of y varies directly with x, and y = 6 when x = 12. Find y when x = 27. Method 1 Find the value of k and then write the equation. y = k x 6 = k (12) Write the equation for a direct variation. Substitute 6 for y and 12 for x. Solve for k. 1_ Since k is multiplied by 12, divide both sides by 12. 2 = k The equation is y = _ 1 2 x. When x = 27, y = _ 1 (27) = 13.5. 2 Method 2 Use a proportion. 6_ 12 = _ y In a direct variation, _ y 27 x is the same for all values of x and y. 12y = 162 Use cross products. y = 13.5 Since y is multiplied by 12, divide both sides by 12.
