DIRECT AND INVERSE VARIATIONS

• Graph of direct variation always

passes through the origin.

• Graph is a straight line.

• Graph of inverse variation never
passes through the origin.
• The graph never touches the axes.
• The graph is a hyperbola.
 HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE VARIATION
• Bring the variables to one side as
• If the right side is a constant, then it is direct variation or inverse variation
