1. Which equation represents a direct variation?

y = x + 3

y = 3x

y = 3/x

y = x - 3

2. If y varies inversely as x, and y = 4 when x = 2, what is the constant of variation?

1/2

1. In a direct variation, as one quantity increases, the other quantity .

2. The equation for inverse variation is y = , where k is the constant of variation.

1. If y varies directly as x, and y = 10 when x = 5, find y when x = 12.

2. The time (t) it takes to travel a certain distance varies inversely with the speed (s). If it takes 4 hours to travel a distance at 60 mph, how long will it take to travel the same distance at 80 mph?

1. The graph of a direct variation is always a straight line passing through the origin.

True

False

2. The graph of an inverse variation is a parabola.

True

False

1. Graph the direct variation y = 2x.
