direct linear proportion equation
y=kx or y/x=k
inverse linear proportion equation
y=k/x or xy=k
how to rearrange formulas
solve it like any linear equation but do +- after square rooting smth
direct proportion vs inverse proportion
direct: when one goes up, the other goes up
inverse: when one goes up, the other goes down
k
constant of proportionality
if a line passes through the origin, what is the gradient
k
x and y are in direct non linear proportion if
y is proportionate to a power of x
x and y are in inverse non linear proportion if
y is proportionate to a power of 1/x
the function is y=k/x^n
y varies inversly as x^n
direct non linear variation equation
y = kx^n or y/x^n = k
inverse non linear variation equation
y = k/x^n or yx^n =k
when a problem says: varies directly with x, and inversly with y do
z=k(x/y)
