How do you graph a direct variation

When two variables are related in such a way that the ratio of their values always remains the same, the two variables are said to be in direct variation.

In simpler terms, that means if A is always twice as much as B, then they directly vary. If a gallon of milk costs $3, and I buy 1 gallon, the total cost is $3. If I buy 10 gallons, the price is $30. In this example the total cost of milk and the number of gallons purchased are subject to direct variation -- the ratio of the cost to the number of gallons is always 3.


To be more "geometrical" about it, if y varies directly as x, then the graph of all points that describe this relationship is a line going through the origin (0, 0) whose slope is called the constant of variation. That's because each of the variables is a constant multiple of the other, like in the graph shown below:

I confirm with the answer that k is the slope of the graph<span>. If the variables x and y vary directly when x = 3 and y = 15, then: a. Write an equation that relates x and y.</span>

140 tickets sold at the door

Step by Step Explanation:

x = tickets sold in advance
y = tickets sold at the door

We use the formula ax+by=c and a+b=c

x + y = 514
17x + 20y = 9158

y = 514 - x
17x + 20(514 - x)
17x + 10,280 - 20x = 9,158
-3x + 10,280 = 9,158
-3x = -11222
x = 374

This is for tickets sold in advance so we need to find y

374 + y = 514
y = 140

140 tickets were sold at the door
