Direct Variation – when two quantities Before anything else, let us have a quick recap about what
increase or decrease at the same time. we have discussed last time.
Did you find already the two pictures that show Direct Variation?
Good job!
(THE CLOCK RUNS FOR 10 SECONDS)
Let’s have the second picture. The picture shows a woman buying
kilos of rice. As she spends more money for the rice, the more
rice she can buy. Thus, this also shows Direct Variation. You got
it again!
And for the last picture, it shows a table of values with number of
employees and the corresponding rent. As the number of employees
increases, the amount of rent decreases. This shows not a Direct
Variation. You are right! Good work grade 9!
If the table does not show a Direct Variation, what do you think does
this table show?

they need to share as the number of
employee increases? As we can see, as the number of employees renting increases, the
rent they need to pay decreases.
How many employees will they need to share with so that each one
of them will pay only 2,000 pesos per month?
How many students will they need to
share with so that each one of them will Based on our table, each employee will pay 2,000 pesos in a
pay only 2,000 pesos per month? month if there are 4 employees that will rent the room.
Since they are already two, they need two more employees.

INVERSE VARIATION This real life situation is related on our lesson for today which is all
about INVERSE VARIATION.
Inverse Variation is a relationship between two quantities, x and y,
that states that y varies inversely as x or y is inversely proportional
INVERSE VARIATION – it is a relationship
k
between two quantities, x and y, that states to x if there is non-zero constant k, such that y= , where k ≠ 0.

that y varies inversely as x or y is inversely k
proportional to x if there is non-zero constant This equation y= is read as ‘y varies inversely as x’ or ‘y is
x

k, such that y= , where k ≠ 0.

y= Constant of Variation
x k
In the equation y= , k is the Constant of Variation that relates the
x
x y two variables x and y. Let us have a table with given values of x. We
2 6 will solve the values of y using the above formula. Let’s assume that
4 3 our Constant of Variation k = 12.

12
Now, let us solve the value of y if the value of x=2. That is y= ,

y= =6 =3. And if
2 the answer is 6. Next, if the value of x=4, we have y=

12 12
y= =3 the value of x=6, we have y= =2.

12
y= =2
6 Take a look on our table. As you observe, if we multiply the value of
x to the value of y, the answer is always 12 which is our Constant of
Constant of Variation Variation(k).
k =xy
In Inverse Variation, we can also solve the Constant of Variation by
using the formula: k =xy .
(Nos 1 & 2 sentences will disappear) Let us have this table again. What did you observe between the
values of x and y? Correct! As the values of x increases, the values
x 2 4 8 of y decreases.
y 8 4 2
Now, let us check if the constant of variation are the same. Let us
(each values of x and y will be encircled one by one and use the variable k as constant of variation. We already know that to
number 16 will appear below each column) solve for k, we have to multiply x and y. So, we have 2 times 8 is
k = xy k = 16 equal to 16, 4 times 4 is equal to 16, and 8 times 2 is also equal to
16. Therefore the constant of variation is 16 and this table shows an
inverse variation.

QUIZ
POP UP TEXT: The correct answer is Yes! Since as the value of x increases, the
Inverse Variation value of y decreases. Also, the constant of variation are all the same.
Therefore the table expresses an inverse variation!
2. Let’s have number 2.
X 2 5 9
Y 7 4 2 Time’s up! Let’s see if you got the correct answer.
POP UP TEXT: The correct answer is Not! Though it satisfies the first condition
Not an Inverse Variation that states as the value of x increases, the value of y decreases,
the constant of variation are not the same.

In this activity, you need to fill the blank spaces in our table so
that the table will show an inverse variation.

CONCLUSION
POP UP TEXT:
k Also, remember that there are lots of things around us that vary
y= inversely to each other. Just like when you run, the longer the
x
distance you take, the stored energy in your body becomes less.
“y varies inversely as x” Another is when you eat more healthy foods, the lesser chance
of being sick.
“y is inversely proportional to x”
These shows inverse variation between things in different
