A direct variation is a situation in which two quantities -- such as hours and pay, or distance and time -- increase or decrease at the same rate. The ratio between the quantities is constant; that is, as one quantity doubles, the other quantity also doubles. so yes it is.
-add on-
A direct variation is in the form y=ax where a is an constant.

Is y9x 1 a direct variation function?
No.
Does the function y equals 8x represent a direct or inverse variation?
Direct
Is the direct variation of two variables always a linear function?
YES...A direct variation is a linear relationship in which y-intercept is always 0.
What does k correspond to in a direct variation function?
k is the constant of variation and is the gradient (slope) of the relevant graph.
Which of the following represents a direct variation function?
Any function of the form Y = cX where X and Y are variables and c is a constant.
Is a linear function a direct variation?
yes * * * * * No, it is not. In a direct variation, if one of the variables is 0, the other MUST also be 0. In a linear function, they will be the intercepts.
Is y9x 1 a direct variation function?
No.
What is direct square variation in math?
direct square variation is a function that relates the same or equal constant ratio. It is a function that is typically used in different kinds of algebra.
Does the function y equals 8x represent a direct or inverse variation?
Direct
When is a linear function considered to be a direct variation?
Direct variation means that a linear function can be written as y = kx. The y-intercept must be (0, 0). The constant, k, is the slope.
Is the direct variation of two variables always a linear function?
YES...A direct variation is a linear relationship in which y-intercept is always 0.
What does k correspond to in a direct variation function?
k is the constant of variation and is the gradient (slope) of the relevant graph.
Which of the following represents a direct variation function?
Any function of the form Y = cX where X and Y are variables and c is a constant.
How does the constant of variation affects the appearance of the graph of a direct variation function?
The formula direct variation is xk=y, where k is the constant of variation.Direct variation functions always pass through the origin. Direct variation functions are linear functions (goes in a straight line), except that they pass through the origin. Regular linear functions don't pass through the origin. That is the only difference.
What does the math term direct variation mean?
Two variables, X and Y, are in direct variation if Y = kX for some constant k. The graph of Y as a function of X will be a straight line through the origin.
When two quantities form a direct variation what is it called?
A direct variation (!) or direct reelationship.
Is direct variation a special case?
Direct variation is not a special case.
Is y equals 3x direct variation?
Yes, it is direct variation.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.
Does every linear equasion represent a direct variation relationship?
I have recently been doing all these direct variation problems but not every linear relationship is a direct variation... But every direct variation is a linear relation!
How do you do a direct variation with an inverse variation problem?
If a variable X is in inverse variation with a variable Y, then it is in direct variation with the variable (1/Y).
What is the difference direct variation and inverse variation?
Direct variation is the ratio of two variable is constant. Inverse variation is when the product of two variable is constant. For example, direct variation is y = kx and indirect variation would be y = k/x .
What does the k represent in the direct variation ykx?
The constant of variation in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities. The formula for direct variation is. y=kx (or y=kx ) where k is the constant of variation .
How do you know if the equation is a direct variation?
When two variables are related in such a way that the ratio of their values always remains the same, the two variables are said to be in direct variation. y=2x is direct variation y=x+2 is not direct variation
Can slope k of a direct variation be positive?
The slope of the graph of a direct variation is always positive.
