Direct Variation | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
https://brilliant.org/wiki/direct-variationWhen we say that a variable varies directly as another variable, or is directly proportionate to another variable, we mean that the variable changes with the same ratio as the other variable increases. Also, if a variable decreases, then the other variable will decrease at the same rate. This is the most basic type of correlation, which can be applied to tons of daily real-life situations.

In particular, when one variable changes the other changes in proportion to the first. If b is directly proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = ka (where k is a constant ). Equation: y = 4 x.
