Identify Direct and Inverse Variation Using the Shape of Graphs

This lesson explores the relationship between x and y values in equations by examining graph shapes. It begins with a review of graphing linear equations, highlighting common misconceptions about graph shapes. The lesson then presents two examples: Sheila's running pace, illustrating direct variation with a straight line, and Angie's sandbox dimensions, demonstrating inverse variation with a curved line. The lesson concludes by comparing these graph types, emphasizing the differences in proportionality and rate of change.
