Direct and Inverse Variation, Slope
direct variation
Linear function that uses the equation, y=kx, and always passes through the origin (0,0); typically, as x increases, y increases (proportional relationship)
The slope of the line is 9/5

Johnny makes $15 for every two days he delivers newspapers. How much would he make after two weeks?
inverse variation
Non-linear function that uses the equation, y=k/x, and never passes through (0,0) or crosses the axes; typically, as x increases, y decreases (decreasing decrease)
