Solving direct variation equations

In a direct variation equation you have two variables, usually x and y, and a constant value that is usually called k. The main idea in direct variation is that as one variable increases the other variable will also increase. That means if x increases y increases, and if y increases x increases. The number k is a constant so it’s always the same value throughout a direct variation problem.

Inverse variation of two variables and the constant of variation

The main idea in inverse variation is that as one variable increases the other variable decreases, which means that if x is increasing y is decreasing, and if x is decreasing y is increasing. The number k is a constant so it’s always the same number throughout the inverse variation problem.
