Direct Variation Flashcardizz

Front

What is direct variation?

Back

Direct variation is a relationship between two variables where one variable is a constant multiple of the other, expressed as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Front

What does the constant of variation (k) represent in direct variation?

Back

The constant of variation (k) represents the rate at which y changes with respect to x in a direct variation relationship.

Front

If y = 4 when x = 1, what is the value of k?

Back

k = 4, since y = kx implies 4 = k(1).

What does the equation y = kx represent in direct variation?

Back

A linear relationship where y changes at a constant rate as x changes.

If k = 3, what is y when x = 5 in a direct variation?

Back

y = 15, since y = kx implies y = 3(5).
