Goal for TodayUnderstand how to graph y=kx

DirectVariation

Recap• A Linear equation makes a LINE

when graphed• Y= kx is a special kind of LINEAR

equation• Y=kx must go through (0,0)• In an equation we always put in a

number for k (y=2x) • K is our slope (how steep the line

is)

Part I: Determining if a function is a Direct

Variation

Which one is a direct variation?

Which one is a direct variation?

Direct variation equation• Equation can not have anything

added or subtracted to it.

• Remember that y=x/4 is the same as y = 1/4 x

Which one is a direct variation?

1. Y= 3x+22. Y=3. Y= 0.85x4. Y= 5. Y= 443x

Part II: Finding K in a Table

Finding KK = y ÷ x

Example #1

X 2 4 6Y 8 16 24

Answer: k=4

Example #2

Answer: k=1/4

x y 8 212 320 528  

Example #3

Answer: k=5/2 or 2 ½

X 4 12 16Y 10 30 40

EXCITING NEWS!!! Now that we know how to find k in a table, we can look at a table to see if

it’s truly a direct variation!!! Steps: • For each ordered pair, divide y by x

and make sure it’s the same number!

• If it’s not then it isn’t a direct variation

Which table shows a Direct Variation?

X 4 12 16Y 3 9 12

X 5 10 15Y 1 3 4

X 1 2 3Y 2 4 8

Part III: Practicing Graphing

y = kx
