Question

Is 4y=16x a Direct variation

Answer 1

In the given equation, as the value of y increase, the value of x also

increases.

• Yes, 4·y = 16·x is a direct variation

Reasons:

A direct variation is a relationship that exists between two variables. It is

also known as a direct proportion which can be expressed as; y = k·x

Where k is a number

The given equation is 4·y = 16·x

Dividing both sides by 4 gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{4 \cdot y}{4} = \frac{16 \cdot x}{4} = \frac{4 \times 4 \cdot x}{4}$

Which gives;

y = 4·x

Comparing the above equation with the equation for a direct variation gives;

y = 4·x

y = k·x

Therefore;

k = 4

The equation, y = 4·x, and therefore, the equation from which it is derived, 4·y = 16·x, is a direct variation.
