What This Module is About
In our everyday life, we are always confronted with situations that deal with relationships
of several quantities. Among these situations are bus fare and distance of destination, total cost
and the number of kilos bought and the amount paid to a worker and the number of hours working.
These are quantities where increase or decrease of one produces a corresponding increase or
decrease of the other.

After going through this module, you are expected to explore and demonstrate
understanding of key concepts on direct variation and to use these concepts to solve real-life
problems. Furthermore, you will learn how a change in one quantity could correspond to a
predictable change in the other.

What I Need to Know

In this lesson, you will learn the following:

● illustrate situations that involve direct variation.;

● translate into variation statement a relationship involving direct variation between

two quantities given by a table of values, a mathematical equation, a graph, and

vice versa; and

● solve problems involving direct variations.

 Lesson
Direct Variation
What’s New

Let us begin our lesson by doing activities that will illustrate the concept of direct variation.
These activities used situations we practically encountered in our real-life. It is hoped that you
can be able to identify relationships and patterns and further use these concepts in solving
problems involving direct variation.
.

Activity 1: Extra Rice

Jelo plans to buy rice out of his own savings. He wants to help his mother whose work has
been affected of the community quarantine implemented by the government due to the pandemic.
The variety of rice he decides to buy cost Php40 a kilo.

Photo Credits: Miladima A. Boa

Let x be the number of kilos and y be the cost of rice.

Complete the table below showing the relationship between the number of kilos(x) of rice
bought and the total cost(y) of rice.

Number of kilos (x) 1 2 3 4 5

Total cost (y) 40 80 120

3
Answer the following:

1. As the number of kilos(x) increases, what happens to the total cost(y)? Will it increase,
decrease or remain the same?
2. Using this pattern, how much is the total cost(y) if the number of kilos(x) bought is 5?
3. What mathematical operation did you apply? Is there a constant number involved?
Explain the process that you have discovered.

From the activity, it can be observed that:

1. As the number of kilos(x) increases, the total cost(y) also increases.

2. In finding the cost of rice(y), the number of kilos(x) is multiplied by a constant number which
is equal to 40.
3. The mathematical statement that describes the relation is y= 40x, where y represents the cost
of rice and x represents the number of kilos.

Activity 2: Let’s Go!

Joash is riding his car leaving Iligan City to visit his grandparents in Lanao del Norte. He
travels at 70 kilometers per hour. The table below shows the time in hours (t) travelled and the
distance in km (d) covered by a car.

Photo Credits: Miladima A. Boa

Let t be the number of hours and d be the distance.

Answer the following:

1. Complete the table below

Time in hour (t) 1 2 3 4 5

Distance in km (d) 70 140

2. When time in hours (t) increases, how does distance in km (d) change?

3. Plot the points (t,d) in the plane below. What have you observed with the points plotted?

5. What is the constant rate?

6. Complete the equation that shows the relationship between the time in hours (t) and the
distance in km (d) of car travelled.
d = _______________

The activity leads us to the following concepts:

1. When time in hours (t) increases, the distance in km (d) also increases. Thus, expresses
direct relationship.
2. Using a convenient scale, the graph of the relation is:

As shown in the graph, points form a line that passes through the origin with a slope of
70.

3. The ratio = 70 is constant as shown in the table below, hence, k=70.

𝑡 1 2 3 4 5

70 70 70 70 70

4. The mathematical sentence or equation describing the relation is d = 70t.

Direct Variation occurs when one quantity is equal to a constant times the other quantity.
𝑦
This can be expressed into mathematical statement or equation as y=kx, where k = is the
𝑥
constant of variation or constant of proportionality. These statements can be:

“ y varies directly as x”
“ y is directly proportional to x” and
“ y is proportional to x”.

These statements mean that for two quantities, x and y, an increase in x causes an
increase in y as well. Similarly, a decrease in x causes a decrease in y.

Let us study the following statements translated into equations where k represents the
constant of variation or constant of proportionality.

Examples:

1. “a is directly proportional to b”
𝑎
is translated as a = kb where k =
𝑏

2. “The circumference (c) of a circle varies directly as the length of its

diameter (d).”
𝑐
is translated as c = kd where k =
𝑑

3. “The cost (c) of fish varies directly as the number (n) of kilos bought.”
𝑐
is translated as c = kn where k =
𝑛

Summary

Direct Variation is a relation when one quantity is equal to a constant times the other
𝑦
quantity. This can be expressed into mathematical statement or equation as y=kx, where k = is
𝑥
the constant of variation or constant of proportionality. These statements can be:

“ y varies directly as x”
“ y is directly proportional to x” and
“ y is proportional to x”.

These statements mean that for two quantities, x and y, an increase in x causes an
increase in y as well. Similarly, a decrease in x causes a decrease in y.
