Direct Variation Constants

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on finding the constant of proportionality, k, in direct variation equations. Students are given pairs of x and y values and must use the formula k = xy to determine the constant that defines the direct variation relationship. It’s an excellent practice for reinforcing the concept of proportionality.

Practicing with this worksheet improves students’ understanding of how constants define the relationship between variables in direct variation. It enhances their calculation skills and reinforces their ability to manipulate ratios. This type of activity also strengthens their understanding of proportionality, which is a critical concept in both algebra and real-world applications. Mastery of this concept is essential for solving a wide range of mathematical problems involving direct variation.
