Helpful Hint
The graph of a direct-variation equation is always
linear and always contains the point (0, 0). The
variables x and y either increase together or
decrease together.

Additional Example 3: Money Application
Mrs. Perez has $4000 in a CD and $4000 in a
money market account. The amount of
interest she has earned since the beginning of
the year is organized in the following table.
Determine whether there is a direct variation
between either of the data sets and time. If
so, find the equation of direct variation.

The second and third pairs of data result in a common
ratio. In fact, all of the nonzero interest from CD to
time ratios are equivalent to 17.

The variables are related by a constant ratio of 17 to
1, and (0, 0) is included. The equation of direct
variation is y = 17x, where x is the time, y is the
interest from the CD, and 17 is the constant of
proportionality.

If any of the ratios are not equal, then there
is no direct variation. It is not necessary to
compute additional ratios or to determine
whether (0, 0) is included.
