    Identifying direct variations by table of values
    1. Identifying direct variations
      Which of the following represent direct variation?

      A. yy = 2

      B. yy = 3.1xx

      C. y=7x9y = - \frac{7x}{9}

      D. xyxy = 191

      E. yy = 8xx + 5
      1. Variable yy varies directly with xx. Determine mm and nn
        Determine m and n
        1. If aa varies directly as bb, and bb = 4 when aa = 16, find aa when b=32b = \frac{3}{2}
          1. If the volume of an object varies directly as the cube of its height, and the volume equals 40ft3ft^{3} when the height is 2ftft, find the object's volume when its height equals 13ft\frac{1}{3} ft

            Direct Variation:
            yy varies directly with xx with a constant variation of kk

            y=kxy = kx


            where
            kk \neq 0
