| A direct proportion is when two values are directly related to each other. This means as one value changes, the other value will change in the same way. | |

| Are you saying if one value increases the other will increase as well? | |

| Yes, that is correct. The change is directly related to each other by a proportionality constant. For example, if my allowance is directly related to the number of chores what does that mean? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| That would mean as you do more chores you would get more allowance. | |

| Can you think of a direct proportion? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| I think an example of direct proportion is the longer walk I take, the longer the time it takes. For example, if I walk 3 miles & it takes me 24 minutes, then it will take me longer to walk 6 miles. | |
