Question
Explain the concept of direct variation.
✓
Answer
When two variables are connected to each other in such a way that if we increase the value of one variable, the value of other variable also increases and vice−versa. Similarly, if we decrease the value of one variable, the value of other variable also decreases and vice−versa.Therefore, if the ratio between two variables remains constant, it is said to be in direct variation.
