• 4.1 Variation
• 4.2 Linear Inequalities
• 4.3 Graphing Linear Equations

Direct Variation
• If a variable y varies directly with a variable x, then y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length, L.If the resistance of a 30 ft length of wire is 0.24 ohm,
determine the resistance of a 40 ft length of wire?
• R = kL
• 0.24 = k(30)
• 0.24/30 = k
• 0.008 = k
Now that k is determined, we can find R if L=40:
• R = 0.008L
• R = 0.008(40)
• R = 0.32 ohm4
5
Inverse Variation
• If a variable y varies inversely with a variable x, then y = k/x, where k is the constant of proportionality.

The time, t, for an ice cube to melt is inversely proportional to the temperature, T, of the water in which the ice cube is
placed. If it takes an ice cube 2 minutes to melt in 75 degree F water, how long will it take an ice cube of the
same size to melt in 80 degree F water?
• t = k/T
• 2 = k/75
• 150 = k
Now that k is determined, in the second part of the problem, we are now looking for t when T=80.
• t = 150/T
• t = 150/80
• t = 1.875 minutes
Always check if the answer is “reasonable”. 6
7
Joint Variation
• The general form of a joint variation, where y varies directly as x and z, is y = kxz, where k is the constant of proportionality.

The volume, V, of a pyramid varies jointly as the area of its base, B, and height, h. If the volume of a pyramid is 12
cubic feet when the area of the base is 4 square feet and the height is 9 feet, find the volume of a pyramid when the area of the base is 16 square feet and the height is 9 feet.
• V = kBh
• 12 = k(4)(9)
• 12 = 36k
• 12/36 = k
• 1/3 = k
• V = (1/3)Bh
• V = (1/3)(16)(9)
• V = 48 cubic feet 8

EVERYONE: C varies inversely as J. If C = 7 when J = 0.7, determine C when J = 12.
10
• C = k/J
10
EVERYONE: C varies inversely as J. If C = 7 when J = 0.7, determine C when J = 12.
11
• C = k/J• 7 = k/0.7• 4.9 = k
11
EVERYONE: C varies inversely as J. If C = 7 when J = 0.7, determine C when J = 12.
12
• C = k/J• 7 = k/0.7• 4.9 = k• Now that we know k• C = k/J• C = 4.9/12• C = 0.4083

EVERYONE: C varies inversely as J. If C = 7 when J = 0.7, determine C when J = 12.

Inequality signs< is less than
ex: -3 < 5
≤ is less than or equal to
ex: x ≤ 0
> is greater than
ex: 5 > 1
≥ is greater than or equal to
ex: x ≥ 9

4x + 9 > 25
• Use the same principles you learned with equations (except for one caveat).
• 4x + 9 - 9 > 25 - 9
• 4x > 16
• x > 4

15
10 - 3x ≤ 21
• 10 - 3x - 10 ≤ 21 - 10
• -3x ≤ 11
• -3x/-3 ≥ 11/-3 (this is the exception: notice the change in direction of the inequality)
• x ≥ -11/315
16
-(1/4)x - 5 > 9
• -(1/4)x - 5 + 5 > 9 + 5
• -(1/4)x > 14
• (-4)(-1/4)x < (-4)(14) (note change in inequality sign)
• x < -5616
17
56 > -9x + 2 > 29
• 56 - 2 > -9x + 2 - 2 > 29 - 2
• 54 > -9x > 27
• 54/-9 < -9x/-9 < 27/-9 (sign change again!)
• -6 < x < -3 (note that numbers would not make sense if you “forget” to change direction) -6 > x > -3 is not true 17

Example: x + y = 5. x = 0 and y = 5 gives ordered pair (0,5)
x = 1 and y = 4 gives ordered pair (1, 4)
x = 2 and y = 3 gives ordered pair (2, 3)
x = 3 and y = 2 gives ordered pair (3,2)
x = 4 and y = 1 gives ordered pair (4, 1)
x = 5 and y = 0 gives ordered pair (5, 0)

Example: find three points on the line 2x – 3y = 12
First point: I will replace x with 0.2(0) – 3y = 120 – 3y = 12-3y = 12-3y/(-3) = 12/(-3)y = -4
Ordered pair is (0, -4)

Example: find three points on the line 2x – 3y = 12
Second point: I will replace x with 2.2(2) – 3y = 124 – 3y = 124 – 3y – 4 = 12 – 4-3y = 8-3y/(-3) = 8/(-3)y = -8/3Ordered pair is (2, -8/3)

Example: What are the x- and y-intercepts of 3x – 7y = 21?
To find the x-intercept,
let y = 0.
3x – 7(0) = 21
3x – 0 = 21
3x = 21
x = 7
(7,0)
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0.
3(0) – 7y = 21
0 – 7y = 21
-7y = 21
y = -3
(0, -3)
Positive Slope
As x values increase, y values also increase
Negative Slope
As x values increase, y values decrease

ExampleFind the slope of the line that passes

m = 0
Examplefind the slope of the line that passes
through the points (6, 4) and (6, 2).
m = UNDEFINED
(Division by zero is undefined)
Finding slope and y-intercept given an equation
• First solve for y• When you have it in the form y = mx + b
then m is your slope and b is your y-intercept
3x + y = 7
y = -3x + 7
m = -3 is your slope
b = (0, 7) is your y-intercept
y = -3x + 7
ExampleFirst move your 2x to the other side
simplify
We need to isolate the y so divide both sides by 4
