This is the Mathematics Grade 9 Quarter 2 Module 1 self-learning module (SLM), “Illustrates Situations that Involve Direct, Inverse, Joint, and Combined Variations.” It is an Alternative Delivery Mode module from DepEd NCR (First Edition, 2020), written for Grade 9 learners studying at home or in class. After working through it, learners should be able to tell the four types of variation apart and describe real-life situations that show each one.
The module builds on ratio and proportion from earlier grades. It shows how a change in one quantity produces a change in another.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module has one learning competency (M9AL-IIa-1). Learners will be able to illustrate situations that involve:
- direct variation
- inverse variation
- joint variation
- combined variation
Lessons in this module
The module has a single lesson, Lesson 1: Direct, Inverse, Joint and Combined Variations. It begins with two everyday scenarios, then explains each type of variation with its equation, worked examples, and practice activities.
The four types of variation
In every type, k is the constant of variation (also called the constant of proportionality).
| Type | Equation | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | y = kx, or k = y/x | As x increases, y increases; their ratio stays the same |
| Inverse | y = k/x, or k = xy | As x increases, y decreases; their product stays the same |
| Joint | y = kxz, or k = y/xz | y varies directly with the product of two or more variables |
| Combined | y = kx/z, or k = yz/x | y varies directly with some variables and inversely with others |
Direct variation
In the first scenario, Mang Bert sells oranges at a fixed price. Three oranges cost ₱45, five cost ₱75, and ten cost ₱150. The ratio of cost to number of oranges is always 15, so the equation is c = 15n. Other examples in the module:
- The circumference of a circle varies directly with its diameter (C = πd).
- If a salesman’s commission varies directly with his sales, doubling his sales doubles his commission.
- If the area of an umbrella varies directly with the square of its radius, tripling the radius makes the area 9 times bigger.
For direct variation, the module also gives the proportion y₁/x₁ = y₂/x₂.
Inverse variation
In the second scenario, a class lists rectangles that all have an area of 60 cm²: 2 by 30, 3 by 20, and 5 by 12. As the length increases, the width decreases, and the product is always 60. So L = 60/W. Other examples:
- At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas decreases as its pressure increases.
- Hiring more workers decreases the number of hours needed to finish a job.
- Shortening a violin string increases the frequency of its vibrations.
For inverse variation, the module gives x₁y₁ = x₂y₂.
Joint variation
The module cuts parallelograms in half to get triangles. The area of a triangle is A = ½bh, so the area varies jointly with the base and height, with k = ½. Other examples are simple interest (I = Prt) and the volume of a box (V = lwh). For a cylinder, V = πr²h, so doubling the height doubles the volume.
Combined variation
Combined variation happens when direct and inverse variation occur at the same time. For a car, distance d = rt is joint variation. Speed r = d/t is combined variation: speed varies directly with distance and inversely with time. The module also shows that if x = ky/z and z is tripled, x becomes one-third of its original value.
Activities in the module
- Activity 1: Flag Raising asks learners to draw a blue, red, yellow, or green flag for direct, inverse, joint, or combined variation.
- Activity 2: Ups and Downs uses Jean and Jericho on a seesaw to show inverse variation between weight and distance from the center.
- Activity 3: Its Your Turn asks about savings, prices and supply, and percent changes.
- What I Can Do has three tasks: an “After Lesson Response” table (DV, IV, JV, CV), a puzzle that names the Filipino mathematician who created the board game DAMATHS, and a puzzle that names the first man to orbit the Earth.
- A PISA-based worksheet follows Ruben, a Grade 9 student, during the COVID-19 lockdown. He saves part of his allowance, paints closet doors, and prices pizzas by their radius.
How to use this module
- Answer the 10-item pretest at the start first. Note the items you missed and look for the right answers as you study.
- Go through the parts in order: What’s In (a review of verbal phrases and proportions), What’s New, What is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, and What I Can Do.
- Take the 10-item Assessment at the end to check your learning. Then do the Additional Activities and the PISA-based worksheet.
- Check your work with the answer key at the back of the module, and use it honestly.
For learners: Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, not on the module. Read each instruction carefully before you start a task.
For parents and facilitators: The module asks you to support home-based learning. If your child has trouble with a task, encourage them to ask their teacher.
For teachers: The module is tied to competency M9AL-IIa-1. Its activities and assessment can serve as quick checks of whether learners can tell the four types of variation apart.
Frequently asked questions
What grade and quarter is this module for?
It is for Grade 9 Mathematics, Quarter 2, Module 1. It covers the competency M9AL-IIa-1 on illustrating direct, inverse, joint, and combined variation.
What is the difference between direct and inverse variation?
In direct variation (y = kx), both quantities increase together and their ratio stays constant. In inverse variation (y = k/x), one quantity increases as the other decreases and their product stays constant.
What is joint variation?
Joint variation is when one variable varies directly with the product of two or more variables, written y = kxz. An example in the module is the area of a triangle, A = ½bh.
What is combined variation?
Combined variation mixes direct and inverse variation, written y = kx/z. An example in the module is the speed of a car, which varies directly with distance and inversely with time (r = d/t).
Does the module have an answer key?
Yes. The module states that answer keys are provided for its activities and tests, and the answer key appears near the end of the module.

What’s In
In your grade 7 class, you first learned how to translate verbal phrases to mathematical symbols. Let’s see how much you can do in this activity.
Try This! Match each verbal phrase to its corresponding mathematical symbol.
[transcriber’s note: the five verbal phrases are printed in a box, one per line]
- The number of minutes (m) spent in reading is 2 times the no. of pages (p) read .
- The cost ( C ) of fish is 90 times the weight ( w ) in kilograms.
- The rate (r) of work done by n people in h hours
- The time (t) spent to travel 80 km at x kph..
- The fare ( f ) is 9 times the number (n) of kilometer covered.
| $r = \frac{n}{h}$ | $t = \frac{80}{x}$ | $m = \frac{2}{p}$ | $f = \frac{n}{9}$ | $t = \frac{x}{80}$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| m= 2p | C = 90w | f = 9n | w = 90C | r = nh |
Solve the given proportions.
- $\frac{21}{n} = \frac{7}{5}$ 2. $\frac{12}{11} = \frac{n}{22}$ 3. $\frac{4}{48} = \frac{16}{n}$ 4. $\frac{n}{5} = \frac{4}{20}$ 5. $\frac{15}{12} = \frac{20}{n}$
Remember: The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
What’s New
Study the following scenarios:
Scenario 1:
[illustration: a girl and two boys talking, with a fruit vendor’s cart]
Speech bubbles:
- “Hi Mang Bert, how much are 3 oranges?”
- “I want to buy 5 oranges.”
- “And I need 10?”
- “Okay, okay. For 3 oranges you’ll pay ₱45, for 5 oranges, ₱75 and for 10 oranges ₱150.”
- “Because I know the fixed price of each orange. So I just multiply the no. of pieces to this fixed price.”
- “Oh, you’re so fast in computation. How do you do that?”
| No. of oranges | Total Cost |
|---|---|
| 3 | 45 |
| 5 | 75 |
| 10 | 150 |
Scenario 2:
[illustration: a teacher at the board in a classroom with students at desks]
Speech bubbles and labels:
- “Good morning class. I have here a rectangle with these dimensions. What is the area of this rectangle?”
- “Very good. Now I would like you to give other values for length and width having the same area, 60 cm².”
- “Let’s put your answers on the table.”
- “Multiplying the length and the width, A = 60 cm²”
- “L = 3, W = 20”
- “L = 2, W = 30”
- “L = 5, W = 12”
- Board: “L = 15”, “W = 4 cm”
| Length | Width |
|---|---|
| 2 | 30 |
| 3 | 20 |
| 5 | 12 |
In the first scenario, “the total cost paid” is related to “the number of oranges bought”. In this relation as illustrated in the table, as the number of oranges bought increases, the total cost paid also increases based on the fixed price per orange. The relationship between the number of oranges bought and the total cost paid is called Direct Variation.
We say, “The total cost (c) paid varies directly to the number of oranges (n) bought” or “The total cost paid is directly proportional to the number of oranges bought”. In mathematical symbols, we write c = kn, where k is called the constant of variation or constant of proportionality. In the first scenario k = 15 which is the fixed price per orange. This can be verified if we get the ratio of the two quantities, c and n, its value is constant. Thus, in the given situation, its equation is c = 15n.
The two given scenarios show a relationship between two quantities in which a change in one quantity produces a change in another quantity. These situations illustrate the concept of variation.
| No. of oranges bought (n) | Total cost paid (c) |
|---|---|
| 3 | 45 |
| 5 | 75 |
| 10 | 150 |
Ratio of c to n: $\frac{45}{3} = 15$ $\frac{75}{5} = 15$ $\frac{150}{10} = 15$
What is It
Direct Variation or Direct Proportion: Direct variation is a relationship between two quantities, x and y, where, as x increases y also increases or as y decreases, x also decreases and the ratio between them is constant or the same for all given values of the variables. So if y varies directly as x, then we say y = kx or $k = \frac{y}{x}$ and k is called the constant of variation.
Example 1 Which shows direct variation? a) The time (t) required to perform the given amount of work to the number of persons (p) working. b) The circumference (C) of a circle to its diameter (d).
Answer: a) When the number of persons working on a certain amount of work increases, the time for them to finish that work decreases. This is not direct variation. b) C = $\pi d$, so the circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its diameter. This shows direct variation.
In the table, notice that the set of values of length and width are related in such a way that as the values of the length increase, the values of the width decrease with the area being fixed at 60 cm². This type of relationship of two set of values with fixed value of one variable is called an inverse variation. We say, “The length of the rectangle varies inversely to its width.” or “The length of the rectangle is inversely proportional to its width.” In mathematical symbols, we write L = k/W or k = LW where k is the constant of variation or constant of proportionality. The value of k in this scenario is 60. This can be obtained by getting the product of L and W. Notice that this product is equal or the same for any given pair of values of L and W.
Example 2
The commission (C) of a salesman varies directly to the amount of his sales (S). How will his commission change when his sales are doubled?
Solution:
C = k(S) C = k(2S) C = 2kS
Therefore, the commission is also doubled.
Example 3
The area (A) of the umbrella varies directly to the square of its radius (r). If the radius of the umbrella is tripled, how is the area of the umbrella changed?
Answer:
A = kr² A = k(3r)² A = 9kr²
Hence, the area of the umbrella will be 9 times its original area.
Example 4
If y varies directly as x, how is y change if x is increased by 15%.
Answer:
If y varies directly to x, then what happens to x also happens to y.
Therefore, y also increased by 15 %
INVERSE VARIATION OR INVERSE PROPORTION
Let’s go back to the second scenario above. There is a given fixed value of area of the rectangle which is 60 cm². The students gave different values of length and width with the same value of area. These are shown in the table.
| Length | Width |
|---|---|
| 2 | 30 |
| 3 | 20 |
| 5 | 12 |
Product of L and W: (2)(30) = 60 (3)(20) = 60 (5)(12) = 60
In the table, notice that the set of values of length and width are related in such a way that as the values of the length increase, the values of the width decrease with the area being fixed at 60 cm². This type of relationship of two set of values with fixed value of one variable is called an inverse variation. We say, “The length of the rectangle varies inversely to its width.” or “The length of the rectangle is inversely proportional to its width.” In mathematical symbols, we write L = k/W or k = LW where k is the constant of variation or constant of proportionality. The value of k in this scenario is 60. This can be obtained by getting the product of L and W. Notice that this product is equal or the same for any given pair of values of L and W.
Inverse variation involves a relation of two quantities, x and y, where in, as x increases y decreases, or when y increases x decreases and that their product remains constant. So, if “y varies inversely as x” or “y is inversely proportional to x”, then the equation will be, y = k/x, or k = xy where k is the constant of variation or constant of relationship.
Example 1:
At constant temperature, the Volume (V) of a gas varies inversely to the Pressure (P). What happens to the volume when the pressure increases?
Answer:
Since the Volume varies inversely with the pressure, then the Volume decreases as the pressure increases.
Example 2:
The number of hours (t) required to do a certain job varies inversely to the number of men (n) working. If additional workers were hired, how will the number of hours to finish the job changed?
Answer:
Since the relationship between the number of men and number of hours is inverse, the number of hours to finish the job will decrease.
Example 3:
The length (l) of a violin string varies inversely to the frequency (f) of its vibrations. A violin string 14 inches long vibrates at a frequency of 450 cycles per second. If the length of the string is reduced, what will happen to the frequency of its vibrations?
Answer:
The frequency of its vibration will increase.
JOINT VARIATION
In finding the area of a rectangle, we use the formula A = lw, The length and width in this formula are inversely related, and A is considered a constant as shown in scenario 2. Thus only two variables are actually used in this formula. Since a rectangle is also a parallelogram, we can also say that A = bh. The width becomes the base and the length becomes the height. Look at these parallelograms.
[illustration: three parallelograms, each with a dashed height line and a right-angle mark; labels 3, 4 and 6 mark the heights and 4, 7 and 5 mark the bases]
| Parallelogram 1 | Parallelogram 2 | Parallelogram 3 |
|---|---|---|
| base = 4 | base = 7 | base = 5 |
| height = 3 | height = 4 | height = 6 |
| Area = 12 | Area = 28 | Area = 30 |
Suppose you cut each parallelogram into halves. You will then have triangles.
[illustration: three triangles, each with a dashed height line and a right-angle mark; labels 3, 4 and 6 mark the heights and 4, 7 and 5 mark the bases]
| Triangle 1 | Triangle 2 | Triangle 3 |
|---|---|---|
| base = 4 | base = 7 | base = 5 |
| height = 3 | height = 4 | height = 6 |
| Area = 6 | Area = 14 | Area = 15 |
The areas of these triangles are half the areas of their corresponding parallelograms. That is why in finding the area of a triangle, we use the formula A = ½bh. In this case, there are three variables involved, A, b and h. The constant in the formula is ½. Notice that the area of the triangle increases whenever the product of the base and height increases. This situation illustrates a joint variation. It is a type of variation in which one variable varies directly to the product of two or more variables. Thus, we say, “the area of a triangle varies jointly to its base and height. The constant of variation, ½, is obtained by dividing the area of the triangle by the product of its base and height. In mathematical symbols, A = kbh or k = A/bh and k = ½.
Example 1
Determine if the given illustrates joint variation or not.
a) Amount of interest; I = Prt b) Volume of a box ; V = lwh c) Acceleration of a car ; A = s/t
Answer:
a) The amount of interest varies directly to two variables, P (Principal) and t(time). The constant is r (rate of interest) so it is joint variation. b) The Volume of a box varies directly to three variables (length, width, and height) so it is joint variation. c) The acceleration (A) of a car varies directly to its speed (S) and inversely to the time (t). It is not a joint variation because two types of variation were used.
Example 2
The volume (V) of a circular cylinder varies jointly to the square of the radius (r) of the base and its height (h) with π as the constant of variation. If the radius is fixed and h is doubled, how is V affected?
Solution:
V = πr²h V = πr²(2h) V = 2πr²h
Therefore, the volume is also doubled.
COMBINED VARIATION
When direct and inverse variations happen at the same time, it is called the combined variation. Combined variation describes a relationship where a variable depends on two or more other variables, varies directly with some of them and inversely with others.
Combined Variation is a combination of direct and inverse variations. That is, if y varies directly to x and inversely to z, then in mathematical symbols y = kx/z or yz/x = k
Example 1
Determine if the relationship is combined variation or not.
a. The distance (d) traveled by a car to its speed (r) and time of travel (t). b. The speed (r) of the car to the distance (d) traveled and time of travel (t). c. The time of travel (t) of a car to the distance (d) traveled and its speed (r).
Answer:
a. In mathematical symbols, d = rt. The distance varies directly to the speed and time. It is not combined variation. It is joint variation. b. In mathematical symbols, r = d/t. The speed varies directly to the distance and inversely to the time. It is combined variation. c. In mathematical symbols, t = d/r. The time varies directly to the distance and inversely to the speed. It is combined variation.
Example 2
If x is directly proportional to y and inversely proportional to z, what happens to x if z is tripled?
Solution
x = ky/z x = ky/3z
The value of x becomes 1/3 of the original value or it decreases by 67%.

What I Have Learned
Direct variation is a relation between two quantities in which an increase in one quantity produces an increase in another quantity and that their ratio remains the same.
If y varies directly as x, then y = kx or k = y/x where k is the constant of variation. This proportion can be applied to direct variation:
y₁/x₁ = y₂/x₂
Inverse variation is a relation between two quantities in which an increase in one quantity produces a decrease in another quantity and that their product remains constant.
If y varies inversely as x, then y = k/x or k = xy, where k is the constant of variation. This proportion can be applied to inverse variation:
x₁y₁ = x₂y₂ or y₁/x₂ = y₂/x₁
Joint variation is a type of variation in which one variable varies directly to the product of two or more variables. That is, if y varies jointly as x and z then in mathematical symbols
y = kxz or y/xz = k
Combined Variation is a combination of direct and inverse variations. That is if y varies directly to x and inversely to z then in mathematical symbols, y = kx/z or yz/x = k

LOCKDOWN!!!
All of these words give us negative thought. Words that make people panic. People are not ready for these.
“Think Positive!” that is Ruben’s motto, a Grade 9 student of ERVHS. He thinks of something that will make him productive during lockdown.
[illustration: cartoon boy with a lightbulb above his head]
Ruben’s first move is to save a part of his P50 daily allowance. How much will he save if he decided to spend only 30% of his daily allowance? Below is Ruben’s tabulated daily savings. How does the total amount of money saved varies with the number of days, directly or inversely?
| No. of Days (d) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Amount Saved (A) | 35 | 70 | 105 | 140 | 175 |
- Make an equation showing how the total amount of money saved varies with the number of days.
- How much money will he save in two weeks?
Fixing his closet is his 2nd activity. He decided to fix and paint the two doors of his closet each measuring 3 feet by 6 feet.
- If the cost of a paint is Php150 per square meter, how much will it cost to paint the doors of his closet? (Hint: 1 m² = 10.76 ft²)
Ruben’s 3rd plan is to help his parents by earning extra income. He decided to make a pizza delivery within their community and posted it in his Facebook [illegible]
A 5 inches radius pizza costs Php75.00. If the cost of pizza varies directly as the square of its radius. How much will a 10 inches radius pizza cost?
If the selling price varies directly as the cube of its radius and if a 5 inches pizza has a selling price of Php150, How much will Ruben sell a 10 inches pizza?

PISA-BASED QUESTIONS
- y = kx
- k = P35
y = P35(14)
y = P490 (amount of money he will be saved for 2 weeks) - Area of 1 door = 3 x 6
= 18 ft² x m²/10.76 ft²
= 1.67 m²
y = P150/m² x 1.67 m²
y = P250.50 since there are two doors you need to multiply the cost by 2. Therefore, the cost of painting the 2 doors is P501.00. - y = cost of pizza
x = radius of pizza
y = kx²
75 = k(5)²
k = 3
y = 3(100)
y = 300 - [illegible]
