\

Observe the graph :

\

The line passing through the points $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

\

Find the constant of variation of the equation:

\

The statement $\"\"$ varies directly as $\"\"$ , means that when $\"\"$ increases, $\"\"$ increases by the same factor.

\

Hence $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ always have the same ratio.

\

The constant of variation of the equation and the slope of the line have the same value.

\

$\"\"$ (Direct variation formula) \ \

\

Consider the point is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

Therefore, the constant of direct variation of the equation is $\"\"$ .

\

\

Find the slope:

\

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Formula for slope)

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

Therefore, the slope is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

The constant of variation is $\"\"$ .

\

The slope is $\"\"$ .
