This document discusses direct and inverse variation. It defines direct variation as a proportional relationship where one quantity increases as the other increases. This is represented by the equation y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. Inverse variation is defined as a relationship where one quantity increases as the other decreases, represented by the equation y = k/x. Examples of solving direct and inverse variation word problems are shown. The document concludes with a quiz to test understanding of direct and inverse variation concepts.
