1. If y varies directly as x, then y = kx. TRUE

2. In inverse variation, the equation is y = kx. FALSE

3. The graph of direct variation is a straight line passing through the origin. TRUE

4. If y varies jointly as x and z, then y = kxz. TRUE

5. In combined variation, y may vary directly as one variable and inversely as another.

 B. 3
 C. 4
 D. 12

2. Which equation represents inverse variation? B.

 A. y = kx
 B. y = k/x
 C. y = x/k
 D. y = k + x

3. If y varies jointly as x and z, which is correct? C.

 A. y = k(x + z)

Problem Solving
1. y varies directly as x. If y = 20 when x = 5, find the equation and the value of y when
x = 12.
answer:
k=4
y = 48

2. y varies inversely as x. If y = 6 when x = 8, find y when x = 12.


answer:
k = 48

y= 4

3. y varies jointly as x and z. If y = 30 when x = 5 and z = 3, find y when x = 10 and z = 2.


answer:
k=2
y = 40

4. y varies directly as x and inversely as z. If y = 9 when x = 6 and z = 4, find y when x = 8 and


z = 3.
answer:
k=6
y = 16
