Hola,
I was wondering if someone could help explain indirect variations and direct variations. I know the equations y=kx (direct), and Y=k/x (indirect) but how in the world do you sort through word problems and "plug and chug" as my math teacher says. How do you do these problems in context?

the very confused student,
rachel

y=kx direct
y=k/x ---> y=kz, z=1/x indirect
