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 .

If x varies directly as y, then
x= ky, where k is any constant
If x varies inversely as y, then
x = k/y, where k is any constant
Linear has a slope direct does not but both go through the orgin
Can you tell me the definitions for these different kinds of relationships in statistics. direct, direct to the nth power, joint, inverse ane regress?
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 .
if the line runs through the origin it is a direct variation no matter if it is increasing or decreasing
The constant.
