What is the equation for a direct variation?

Back

y = kx, where k is a non-zero constant.

What is the difference between a multiplicative relationship and an additive relationship?

Back

In a multiplicative relationship, the change in y is proportional to the change in x, while in an additive relationship, y changes by a constant amount regardless of x.

If k = 2 in the equation y = kx, what does this mean?

Back

For every unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.
