Direct Variation (Distance = Rate x Time) Example

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Speed through a direct variation example. The presented problem uses a distance-rate-time problem as an example of a direct variation problem. Using the slope between two points of time and distance, the video shows learners how to calculate the rate. Then, using the calculated rate, pupils see how to determine other quantities related to the distance equation.
