This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

It focuses on the fundamental concepts of direct and inverse variations and its
application. The presentation and examples herein stated are tailored-fit and
meticulously selected to ensure learners understanding. Learners should be able to
identify the significant characteristics of each concept. An array of solving
strategies is then manifested to guide student’s learning.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration

 4. If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 3, what is y when x = 9?
5. The stopping distance d of a certain vehicle after the brakes are applied
varies directly as the speed s. The vehicle travelled at 80km per hour can

travelling at 110 km per hour?
6. If y varies directly as the square of x and y = 36 when x = 3, what is y
when x = 5?

What is It

There is a direct variation whenever a situation produces pairs of numbers in

which their ratio is constant.
The statements:
“y varies directly as x”
“y is directly proportional to x” and
“ y is proportional to x”
may be translated mathematically as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation .

For two quantities, x and y, an increase in x causes an increase in y.

Similarly, a decrease in x causes a decrease in y.

Steps in Solving Direct Variation Problems:

1. Translate statement into mathematical sentence

2. Find the constant of variation.
3. Solve for the values of missing variation.
4. Formulate the equation for the relationship or variables or quantities.
Note:
 When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables
other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the
problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there
are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares,
cubes, or square roots.
 If you graph, in most applications of direct variation, the variables are
positive, and so the graph of the variation is found on the first quadrant of
the Cartesian Coordinate Plane and the graph is a straight line.
 The graph of a direct square variation is a curve which follows the quadratic
form.

In this graph, y is In this graph, y is
directly proportional directly proportional to the
to x. square of x.

Example 1.The cost C of tiling room varies directly as the area A of the room. Write
the equation of variation.

The statements:
“C varies directly as A”

may be translated mathematically as C = kA, where k is the constant of variation

Therefore, C = kA

Example 2.The table below shows that the cost c varies directly as the weight w.
Find the constant of variation and the equation which describes the relation.

Weight w 1 2 3 4 5

Cost c 80 160 240 320 400

Solution:

Since the cost c varies directly as the weight w, then c = kw.

Using one of the pairs of values (1, 80) from the table, substitute the
values of c and w in c = kw and solve for k.

c = kw
80 = k(1) Substitute the values of c and w
k = 80 Symmetric property of equality

Therefore, the constant of variation is 80.

From the mathematical equation of the variation by substituting 80 in the

statement c = kw.

Therefore, the equation of the variation is c = 80k

9
Example 3. The graph below shows that the cost C varies directly as the weight W.
Find the constant of variation and the equation which describes the relation.

Since the cost C varies directly as the weight W, then C = kW.

Using one of the pairs of values (2, 160) from the graph, substitute the
values of C and W in C = kW and solve for k.

C = kW
160 = k(2) Substitute 160 to C and 2 to W

= Multiply by (MPE)

k = 80
Therefore, the constant of variation is 80.

From the mathematical equation of the variation by substituting 80 in the

statement C = kW.
Therefore, the equation of variation is C = 80k.

Example 4. If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 3, what is y when x = 9?

Solution 1:

y = kx Write the statement y varies directly as x

21 = k(3) Substitute the value of x

k= Multiply both side by (MPE)

k=7
Hence, the equation of variation is y = 7k
Solve for y when x = 9
y = kx
y = 7(9) Substitute the value of x and multiply
y = 63

Therefore, y = 63.

10
Solution 2:

Since is a constant, then we can write k = . Establish a proportion such

that = where x1= 3 y1 = 21 and x2 = 9

Substitute the values of x and y

= Simplify

= cross multiply
y = 9(7) multiply 9 and 7
y = 63

Therefore, y = 63 when x = 9.

Example 5.The stopping distance d of a certain vehicle after the brakes are applied
varies directly as the speed s. The vehicle travelled at 80km per hour can stop in
3m, how many meters will it take the same vehicle to stop when travelling at 110
km per hour?

Solution:
d = ks Write the statement y varies directly as x
3 = k(80) Substitute the given information

k= Multiply both side by (MPE)

Therefore, the constant of variation is .

Form the mathematical equation of the variation by substituting in the
statement d = ks.

d= s

d= (110) Substitute the constant of variation

d= Multiply the numerators and divide to the denominator

d = 4.125 m

Therefore, the vehicle stops after travelling 4.125 m.

11
Example 6. If y varies directly as the square of x and y = 36 when x = 3, what is y
when x = 5?

Solution:
y = kx2 Write the statement y varies directly as the square of x
36 = k(3)2 Substitute the value of x
36 = k(9) square the value of x

k= Multiply both side by (MPE)

k=4
Hence, the equation of variation is y = 4k

Solve for y when x = 5

y = kx2
y = 4(5) Substitute the value of x
y = 4(25) Square the values of x and multiply
y = 100

Therefore, y = 100

Read and understand the situation below, then answer the questions that follow.

1. The numbers of days D required to construct a washing facility in school

varies inversely to the number of workers w. If 3 workers finished
constructing a washing facility in 5 days, how many workers are needed to
finish constructing the washing facility in 3 days?

Questions:
1. Write a mathematical statement that relates the two quantities D and w
2. What is the constant of variation? Formulate the mathematical equation.
3. How many workers are needed to finish constructing the washing facility
in 3 days?
