Write the slopes of the following lines:

Now let's determine if a table represents direct variation. A table is just a collection of coordinates (x,y) values that make up a line on a graph. We can tell if a table represents direct variation if the slope is the same between all the points. An easy way of testing that is to calculate if each x and y pair are proportional to each other.

If you need help deciding whether a graph represents direct variation (a proportion), watch the following video. If you feel good about it, skip it and move on.

Watch the following video to get a feel for how to solve for the k value when given x and y. It's a good video!!

Next, let's figure out how to solve for the constant of variation (slope). Try these three problems below. Use the x and y that are given to substitute into the y=kx equation in order to solve for k.

Your distance (d) from lightning varies directly with the time (t) it takes you to hear thunder. If you hear thunder 10 seconds after you see the lightening, you are about 2 miles from the lightning.

Write a direct variation equation for the relationship between time (t) and distance (d).

A recipe for 3 dozen corn muffins calls for 2 cups of flour. The number of muffins (m) varies directly with the amount of flour (f) you use.

Write a direct variation equation for the relationship between the number of cups of flour (f) and how many muffins (m) it would make.
