Direct Variations

Now that we understand that slope is a way to report the rate of change, I have chosen to return to the section that deals with direct variation. Direct variation means that the rate of change is constant. (As x changes, so does y.) The point of this lesson is that direct variation gives you the slope of a line that passes through the origin.
