Direct Variation

Grade 9 Mathematics
Learning Goal

• Understand direct
variation, write
equations, find the
constant of variation,
and apply it to real-life
situations.
Warm-Up

1. If you double the number of hours you


work at a job that pays a fixed hourly rate,
what happens to your earnings?

2. If you double the number of tickets sold


for a concert (at the same price per
ticket), what happens to the total money
collected?
Exploration Task

• A music speaker produces


sound that varies directly with
the volume setting.
Exploration Task

• A music speaker produces sound


that varies directly with the
volume setting.
1. Write an equation
𝑦=5showing the
relationship between
𝑥 𝑦 and x
k=
2. Identify the constant of variation5(k):
y=
3. Predict the output when the volume 45
setting is 9.
Practice Problems

1. If 𝑦 varies directly with 𝑥,


and 𝑦=15 when 𝑥=3
• Equation of variation:
• What is 𝑦 when 𝑥=10?
Practice Problems

2. The cost of photocopying is


directly proportional to the
number of pages. If 50 pages
cost 7.50:
• Equation of variation:
• Cost of 200 pages:
Practice Problems

3. A car travels 120 km using 8


liters of fuel. Assuming
distance varies directly with
fuel used:
• Equation of variation:
• Distance with 20 liters:
Group Challenge

You are organizing a school concert.


The number of chairs needed varies
directly with the number of guests.
o For 50 guests, you need 75 chairs.
o How many chairs will you need for
200 guests?
Reflection

• 1. What does it mean when we say 'y


varies directly with x'?
• 2. Give one real-life example of direct
variation.
