Frequently Asked Questions
What is direct variation?
Direct variation describes a relationship where one variable is always a constant multiple of another, written as y = kx. As x increases, y increases proportionally, and the graph of this relationship is always a straight line through the origin.
What does the constant k represent?
k is the constant of proportionality, it determines how steeply y changes as x changes, and is equal to the slope of the line y = kx.
How is direct variation different from a general linear equation?
A general linear equation, y = mx + b, can have a y-intercept anywhere. Direct variation is the special case where b = 0, meaning the line always passes through the origin (0, 0).
