Question

What is the relationship among direct variation,lines,rates of change, and slope?

Answer 1

A direct variation is a proportional equation. Such as:

For every 3 cookies, linda gets 1 glass of milk. The equation for this is y=3x where y is the glasses and x is the cookies. this is a direct variation. It also has a linear line. Linear means straight. Rate of change and slope are the exact same thing. They are the value of 'm' in y=mx+b
