Definition--Direct Variation | Direct Variation
TopicLinear Functions DefinitionDirect variation describes a linear 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. DescriptionDirect variation is a fundamental concept in linear functions, illustrating how one variable changes proportionally with another. The constant of variation, 𝑘 k, represents the rate of change. In real-world scenarios, direct variation can model relationships such as speed and distance, where distance traveled varies directly with time at a constant speed. Understanding this concept is crucial in fields like physics and engineering. |
