Direct Variation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Two quantities vary directly when y = kx for a nonzero constant of variation k — doubling one doubles the other.

Show

Wages vary directly with hours worked: 12 dollars for 4 hours fixes the rate k = 3, so 10 hours pays 30 dollars.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
