Question

What is a direct variation and how do you do it?

Answer 1

Direct Variation-A relationship between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other. like when one variable changes the other changes in proportion to the first. If b is directly proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = ka (where k is a constant).

Answer 2

Direct Variation. Directly Proportional. A relationship between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other. In particular, when one variable changes the other changes in proportion to the first. If b is directly proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = ka (where k is a constant).
