This is the Grade 9 Mathematics Quarter 2 Module 3 self-learning module, made for Week 2 under DepEd’s Alternative Delivery Mode. It has two parts: (A) translating into a variation statement a relationship between two quantities given by a graph, and vice versa, and (B) solving problems involving variation. It builds on Module 2, which covered variation from tables of values and equations. Learners finish it able to read direct and inverse variation from a graph and to solve real-life variation word problems.
What learners will learn
The module lists these learning competencies:
- Translate into variation statement a relationship between two quantities given by a graph, and vice versa (M9AL-IIb-1)
- Solve accurately problems involving variations (M9AL-IIb-c-1)
Topics in this module
- Part A: Variation from graphs. Learners plot ordered pairs and learn what the graphs of direct and inverse variation look like.
- Part B: Solving problems involving variation. Learners use a four-step method to solve direct, direct square, inverse, joint, and combined variation problems.
Review: types of variation
The module opens with a summary of the types of variation, where k is the constant of variation:
| Type | In symbols | Example wording |
|---|---|---|
| Direct variation | y = kx or y/x = k | y varies directly with x |
| Direct square variation | y = kx² | y varies directly as the square of x |
| Inverse variation | xy = k or y = k/x | y is inversely proportional to x |
| Joint variation | y = kxz | y varies jointly as x and z |
| Combined variation | z = kx/y | z varies directly as x and inversely as y |
Reading variation from a graph
The lesson starts with a scene from Gulliver’s Travels. A tailor in Lilliput measures Gulliver for a shirt using only his thumb: twice around the thumb is once around the wrist, twice around the wrist is once around the neck, and twice around the neck is once around the waist. From this, the module builds tables and graphs:
- Wrist and thumb: w = 2t, so k = 2. Points include (0, 0), (1, 2), and (5, 10).
- Waist and neck: the waist is twice the neck, with points such as (4, 8) and (20, 40).
- Thumb and neck: n = 4t, so k = 4. Points include (1, 4) and (5, 20).
Each graph is a straight line that passes through the origin. This is the key sign of direct variation: the graph of y = kx is a straight line through (0, 0).
For inverse variation, the module uses x = 6 and y = 2. Since xy = k, k = 12 and the equation is y = 12/x. Its graph is a smooth curve called a hyperbola. It never passes through the origin and never touches the x- or y-axis. The axes are called the asymptotes of the hyperbola.
The module also works through two more examples:
- Joint variation: z varies jointly with x and y, and z = 42 when x = 3 and y = 2. So k = 7. Then z = 105 when x = 5 and y = 3, and x = 2 when y = 5 and z = 70.
- Combined variation: z = kx/y, and z = 18 when x = 9 and y = 4. So k = 8, and z = 16 when x = 12 and y = 6.
Solving problems involving variation
The module gives four steps for word problems:
- Identify the problem (name the variables).
- Formulate an equation.
- Solve (usually find k first, then the unknown).
- Assess your answer.
Its worked examples show each type in a real-life setting:
- Direct: If 51 kg of rice feeds a family for 45 days, then r = kd gives 68 kg for 60 days.
- Direct square: A pizza’s cost varies as the square of its radius. A 6-inch radius costs P180, so k = 5, and an 11-inch radius costs P605.
- Inverse: 2 men repair a house in 15 days, so md = 30. Finishing in 6 days needs 5 men.
- Joint: Kinetic energy varies jointly as mass and the square of velocity, e = kmv². From 100 ergs at 8 g and 5 cm/s, k = 1/2. So 6 g at 9 cm/s gives 243 ergs.
How to use this module
The module follows the usual self-learning module parts:
- What I Know: a 15-item pretest. Answer it on a separate sheet, note the items you missed, and look for the right answers as you go.
- What’s In: a review table and a short “Try this!” exercise on writing variation equations.
- What’s New and What Is It: the Gulliver story, guide questions, and the worked examples.
- What’s More: Activity 1 (compare two tables and graph them) and Activity 2 (three word problems).
- What I Have Learned and What I Can Do: a summary and eight practice items, including a graph of y = 8/x for painting a room.
- Assessment: a 15-item test.
- Additional Activities: give a real-life example of direct variation, and use a string to measure your thumb, wrist, and neck to check the tailor’s rule.
- Problem-Based Learning Worksheet “Way Back Home”: a teacher drives 40 km home, and learners study how her speed and travel time affect each other.
An answer key is printed at the end. Learners should try every item first and use the key only to check. Parents can help with the string-measuring activity at home. Teachers may want to check answers against their own solutions, since parts of the printed key are hard to read.

WHAT’S IN
Variation is one of the most important and useful concepts in Mathematics. This concept will help us determine the value of one variable given the value of another variable and their relationship.
The following are some of the types of variation, the symbolic representation of each, and some cue words.
| Type of Variation | In symbols (k is the constant of variation) | Example Wording |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Variation | y = kx or y/x = k y = kx² or y/x² = k | “y varies directly with x” “y is directly proportional to x” SPECIAL CASE: Direct Square Variation “y varies directly as the square of x” |
| Inverse Variation | xy = k or y = k/x | “y is inversely proportional to x” or “x is inversely proportional to y” |
| Joint Variation | y = kxz or k = y/xz | “y varies directly as the product of x and z” “y varies jointly as x and z” |
| Combined Variation: Involves a combination of direct variation and inverse variation | z = kx/y or k = zy/x | “z varies directly as x and inversely as y” |
Try this!
Using k as the constant of variation, write the equation of the variation of the following.
- The weight (w) of an athlete is directly proportional to his height (h)
- P varies directly as the square of Q
- The altitude (h) of a triangle with constant area varies inversely as its base (b).
- The pressure (P) of a gas varies jointly as its density (d), and its absolute temperature (t).
- F varies jointly as m1 and m2 and inversely as the square of d.

WHAT’S NEW
Let’s start with this SIMPLE STORY.
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
Lempel Gulliver is a surgeon who takes to the seas. He completes many voyages without incident, but his final four journeys take him to some of the strangest lands on the planet, where he discovers the virtues and flaws in his own culture by comparing it with others.
One day a storm destroys the ship, leaving Gulliver as the sole survivor of the wreck. He washes up on the shores of Lilliput, an island populated by people only six inches tall. When the Lilliputians decided to make a shirt for Gulliver, a Lilliputian tailor stated that he could determine Gulliver’s measurements by simply measuring the distance around Gulliver’s thumb. He said “Twice around the thumb equals once around the wrist. Twice around the wrist is once around the neck. Twice around the neck is once around the waist.
[illustration: a giant Gulliver lying on the ground while tiny Lilliputians stand on ladders and scaffolding around him]
WHAT IS IT
- Where did Gulliver ended up after his ship was wrecked?
________________________________________________________________. - Who are trying to make Gulliver’s clothes?
- How did they decide to measures Gullivers’ body?
Using the tailor’s statement, Table 1shows the measurements of thumb, wrist neck and waist.

GRADE 9 Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics
Example 1: Draw the graph of the following relationship and write an equation that describes the relationship between the two variables. a. Wrist (w) and thumb (t). b. Waist (x) and neck (n) c. Thumb (t) and neck (n)
Solution:
a. Wrist (w) and thumb (t):
Table1 shows the relationship between the distance around the thumb t varies directly as the distance around the wrist w. Then the mathematical equation describing the relation is w = 2t, where k = 2 is the constant of variation.
Table 2: Wrist (w) and thumb (t)
| Thumb (t) in inches | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wrist (w) in inches | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
Use the information from Table2 to make an ordered pair and draw a graph of the relationship between the distance around the thumb (t) and the distance around the wrist (w).
Plot the following ordered pair (or at least two ordered pair) that represent the equation w = 2t in the Cartesian coordinate plane and connect it with a line segment.
(0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8), and (5, 10)
[chart: line graph of w = 2t on a Cartesian plane with t on the horizontal axis and w on the vertical axis, axis ticks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and -2, -4, -6; plotted points (0,0), (1,2), (2,4), (3,6), (4,8), (5,10) labeled, with the line passing through them]
Notice the following about the graph:
- The graph passes through the origin.
- All the points lie on a line.
- The graph of the relation w = 2t is a line.
Therefore, the graph shows direct variation since it goes through the origin (0,0).
The graph of direct variation y = kx or y/x = k where k is the constant of variation is a straight line that goes through the origin.
GRADE 9 Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics
b. Waist (x) and neck (n):
Table 2 shows the relationship between the distance around the neck n varies directly as the distance around the waist x. Then the mathematical equation describing the relation is w = 2n, where k = 2 is the constant of variation.
Table 3: Waist (x) and neck (n)
| Neck (n) in inches | 0 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist (x) in inches | 0 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 |
Use the information from Table 3 to make an ordered pair and draw a graph of the relationship between the distance around the thumb (t) and the distance around the wrist (w).
Plot the following ordered pair (or at least two ordered pair) that represent the equation w = 2n in the Cartesian coordinate plane and connect it with a line segment.
(0, 0), (4, 8) (8, 16), (12, 24), (16, 32), and (20, 40)
[chart: line graph of w = 2n on a Cartesian plane with n on the horizontal axis and w on the vertical axis, axis ticks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and -2, -4, -6; labeled point (0,0) and (4,8), with the line passing through them]
Notice the following about the graph:
- The graph passes through the origin.
- All the points lie on a line.
- The graph of the relation w = 2n is a line.
Therefore, the graph shows direct variation since it goes through the origin (0,0).
c. Thumb (t) and neck (n):
Table 4 shows the relationship between the distance around the thumb t varies directly as the distance around the neck n. Then the mathematical equation describing the relation is n = 4t, where k = 4 is the constant of variation.
Table 4: Thumb (t) and neck (n)
| Thumb (t) in inches | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neck (n) in inches | 0 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
Use the information from Table 4 to make an ordered pair and draw the graph of the relationship between the distance around the thumb (t) and the distance around the neck (n).
Plot the following ordered pair (or at least two ordered pair) that represent the equation 𝑛 = 4𝑡 in the Cartesian coordinate plane and connect it with a line segment.
(0, 0), (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12), (4, 16), and (5, 20)
[chart: line graph; Cartesian coordinate plane with horizontal axis t and vertical axis n; points labeled (0,0), (1,4), (2,8), (3,12), and (4,16) plotted and connected by a line segment]
Notice the following about the graph:
- The graph passes through the origin.
- All the points lie on a line.
- The graph of the relation 𝑤 = 2𝑛 is a line.
Therefore, the graph shows direct variation since it goes through the origin (0,0)
Observe that the graph of a direct variation is a straight line.
Example 2: When x is 6 and y is 2, find an equation that inversely relates y and x.
Solution: 𝒙 ∙ 𝒚 = 𝒌 Inverse Variation Model (6) ∙ (2) = 12 Substitute 6 for x and 2 for y 12 = 𝒌 Simplify
The inverse variation that relates x and y is 𝑥 ∙ 𝑦 = 12 → 𝑦 = $\frac{12}{x}$: 𝑘 ≠ 0
Table 4: shows that the variable y varies inversely to x and the equation describes the relation is 𝑦 = $\frac{12}{x}$, where k = 12 is the constant of variation.
| x | -6 | -4 | -3 | -2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| y | -2 | -3 | -4 | -6 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
Graphically it looks like this:
[chart: curve graph; Cartesian coordinate plane with horizontal axis x and vertical axis y, both ticked from -8 to 8; two branches of a hyperbola, one in the lower-left quadrant and one in the upper-right quadrant, with plotted points]
Values are not labeled on the chart.
Notice the following about the graph:
- The graph did not pass through the origin.
- The graph gets very close to x- and y axes but it never touches them.
- The graph of the relation 𝑤 = 2𝑡 is a smooth curve.
Therefore, the graph shows inverse variation.
The graph of inverse variation 𝒙𝒚 = 𝒌 or 𝒚 = $\frac{\mathbf{k}}{\mathbf{x}}$ where 𝒌 is the constant of variation is a hyperbola it never passes through the origin, and never crosses the x or y axis; the x and y axes are called the asymptotes of the hyperbola.
Example 3: The value of z varies jointly with x and y. When 𝑥 = 3 and 𝑦 = 2, the value of 𝑧 is 42. a. Find 𝑧, when 𝑥 = 5 and 𝑦 = 3. b. Find 𝑥, when 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70.
Solution: a. We can find the constant of variation, by first substituting the given values. 𝑧 = 𝑘𝑥𝑦 42 = 𝑘(3)(2) 42 = 6𝑘 𝑘 = 7 Then substitute 𝑘 = 7, 𝑥 = 5, and 𝑦 = 3 in the equation. 𝑧 = (7)(5)(3) 𝑧 = 105 Therefore, the value of 𝑧 is 105, when 𝑥 = 5 and 𝑦 = 3.
b. Since 𝑘 = 7, substitute 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70, to find the value of 𝑥. 𝑧 = 𝑘𝑥𝑦 70 = (7)(𝑥)(5) 70 = 35𝑥 𝑥 = 2 Therefore, the value of 𝑥 is 2, when 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70.
Example 4: The value of z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y. When 𝑥 = 9 and 𝑦 = 4, the value of 𝑧 is 18. Find 𝑧 if 𝑥 = 12 and 𝑦 = 6.
Solution: Find the value of 𝑘. 𝑧 = $\frac{kx}{y}$ 18 = $\frac{k(9)}{4}$ 𝑘 = $\frac{4(18)}{9}$ 𝑘 = $\frac{72}{9}$ 𝑘 = 8
Substitute 𝑘 = 8, 𝑥 = 12, and 𝑦 = 6 to find z. 𝑧 = $\frac{kx}{y}$ 𝑧 = $\frac{8(12)}{6}$ 𝑧 = $\frac{96}{6}$ 𝑧 = 16
Therefore, 𝑧 = 16 when 𝑥 = 12 and 𝑦 = 6.

Example 1: During the first month of pandemic, one of the essentials that Filipino family needs is food. With this, Barangay Captain Eugene Rodriguez decided to distribute packs of rice from the emergency fund of the barangay to his constituent in order to help them in their daily needs. If 51 kilograms of rice can feed a family for 45 days, how many kilograms of rice are needed to feed the same family for 60 days?
Solution: Step 1: Let r = the number of kilos of rice d = number of days
Step 2: The number of kilograms of rice (r) that can feed a family varies directly as the number of days (d) and r = 51 when d = 45. Find r when d = 60.
Equation: 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥 → 𝑟 = 𝑘𝑑
Step 3: 51 = 𝑘(45) → solving for k 51 = 45𝑘 $\frac{51}{45}$ = 𝑘 𝑟 = $\frac{51}{45}$(60) → Solving for r 𝑟 = $\frac{51(60)}{45}$ 𝑟 = 68
Step 4: Thus, 68 kilograms of rice are needed to feed the family for 60 days.
Example 2: The cost (c) of a pizza varies directly as the square of its radius (r). If a pizza with a 6 inches’ radius costs P180, how much should a pizza with an 11 inches’ radius cost?
SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING VARIATION
One of the useful concepts in mathematics is about the relationship between the two variables stating that, if one of the quantities increases or decreases, the other quantity also increases or decreases. This is called variation.
There are different applications of variations in various learning fields like mechanics, agriculture, and even manufacturing. Analyze the problem so you can form an equation that will represent your word problem. You can also find the constant of variation first to solve for the desired quantities.
Steps in solving word problems: Step 1: Identify the problem. Step 2: Formulate an equation. Step 3: Solve. Step 4: Assess your answer.
Solution: Step 1: Let 𝑐 = the cost of pizza 𝑟 = radius of the pizza
Step 2: 𝑐 varies directly as the square of 𝑟, and 𝑐 = 180 when 𝑟 = 6, find 𝑐 when 𝑟 = 11? Equation: 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥² → 𝑐 = 𝑘𝑟²
Step 3: 180 = 𝑘(6²) → Solving for k 180 = 36𝑘 5 = 𝑘 𝑐 = 5𝑟² → Solving for c 𝑐 = 5(11²) 𝑐 = 605
Step 4: ₱ 605 is the cost of pizza with an 11 inches’ radius.
Example 3: The number of days (d) needed in repairing a house varies inversely as the number of men (m) working on the house repair. It takes 15 days for 2 men to repair the house. How many men are needed to complete the job in 6 days?
Solution: Step 1: Let d = number of days needed in repairing a house 𝑚 = number of men working on the house repair
Step 2: d varies inversely as m, and d = 15 when m = 2. Find m when d = 6. Equation: 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑘 → 𝑚𝑑 = 𝑘
Step 3: Find k when m = 2 and d = 15 (2)(15) = 𝑘 → Solving for k 30 = 𝑘 𝑚(6) = 30 → Solving for m 6𝑚 = 30 𝑚 = $\frac{30}{6}$ 𝒎 = 5
Step 4: Thus, 5 men are needed to complete the job in 6 days.
Example 4: Kinetic energy varies jointly as the mass and the square of the velocity. A mass of 8 grams and a velocity of 5 centimeters per second has a kinetic energy of 100 ergs. Find the kinetic energy for a mass of 6 grams and a velocity of 9 centimeters per second.
Solution: Step 1: Let e = kinetic energy m = mass v = velocity
Step 2: 𝑒 varies jointly as 𝑚 and the square of 𝑣, find 𝑒 if 𝑚 = 6 and 𝑣 = 9. Equation: 𝑒 = 𝑘𝑚𝑣²
Step 3: Find k when e = 100, m = 8, and v = 5. 100 = 𝑘(8)(5²) → Solving for k 100 = 𝑘(8)(25) 100 = 200𝑘 $\frac{1}{2}$ = 𝑘
𝑒 = $\frac{1}{2}$𝑚𝑣² → Solving for e 𝑒 = $\frac{1}{2}$(6)(9²) 𝑒 = $\frac{1}{2}$(6)(81) 𝑒 = 243
Step 4: 243 ergs
Note: The unit of mechanical work and energy in the centimetre–gram–second system of units is “erg”. I comes from the Greek ergon which means “work”

Write an equation for the following statement and answer the problem.
- The weight of an object on Earth varies directly as the weight of the same object on the moon. A 300-pound object would weigh 48 pounds on the moon. How much would a 65-pound object weigh on the moon?
- The time required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 5hr for 7 bricklayers to build a park well. How long will it take 10 bricklayers to complete the job?
- If y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y = 22 when x = 4 and z = 6, find y when x = 10 and z = 25.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
➢ The graph of direct variation 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥 or $\frac{y}{x}$ = 𝑘 where 𝑘 is the constant of variation is a straight line that goes through the origin.
➢ The graph of inverse variation 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑘 or 𝑦 = $\frac{k}{x}$ where 𝑘 is the constant of variation is a hyperbola. It never passes through the origin, and never crosses the x or y axis. The x and y axes are called the asymptotes of the hyperbola.
➢ Joint variation is like a direct variation, but it involves two or more variables: 𝑦 = 𝑘(𝑥𝑧), and the Combined variation is a combination of direct and inverse variation: 𝑦 = $\frac{kx}{z}$.
WHAT I CAN DO
Answer the following:
- The graph shows the number of y hours it takes x workers to paint a room.
[chart: line graph titled “Painting”; vertical axis “Time (hours)” and horizontal axis “Workers”, both ticked from 0 to 7; a curve labeled y = 8/x that falls steeply and then levels off toward the horizontal axis]

- At ₱60 for every $\frac{1}{2}$ kg of galunggong, how much will 2 kg of this fish cost?
- Candies are sold at P1.50 each. How much will a bag of 420 candies cost?
- If y = kx², and y = 36 when x = 3, find k.
- If x varies inversely as y and x = 8 when y =2, find x when y = 4.
- If c varies inversely as d, and c = 30 when d = 9, find d when c = 540.
- For a given distance, the required time t varies inversely as the rate r. If t=6 when r = 45, find r when t = 4 $\frac{1}{2}$.

PROBLEM – BASED LEARNING WORKSHEET
WAY BACK HOME
[illustration: a house, a car, and a school building]
In the city, one of the problems is transportation especially during rush hours. Some use their own vehicles, some take public vehicles to go to work and vice versa.
Ms. Dang works at E. Rodriguez Vocational High School which is 40 kilometers away from her home. Driving a car, the time it takes her to reach home depends on the traffic situation along the way. Sometimes it takes a longer time to reach home when heavy traffic is ahead of her. Her time way back home depends on the average speed. The graph below shows some of the recorded speed driving her own car and the number of hours she has taken to reach home.
[chart: scatter plot with a curve; the graph of Speed (kph) against Time (hours). Vertical axis “Speed (kph)” labeled 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. Horizontal axis “Time (hours)” labeled 0, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1, 1 1/5 [?]. Values are not labeled on the chart.]
LET’S ANALYZE
What will happen to the time of travel if the speed of driving the car decreases?
How long will it take her to reach home if her driving speed is 50 kph?
Write a mathematical statement to represent the relationship between time and speed.
How do speed and time affect each other?

Activity 2
The equation is O = 6.5M, where O is the weight in pound of the object and M is the weight in pound of the object when on moon. When the object is 65 pounds, it weighs 6.25 pounds on the moon.
The equation is t = 35/p, where t is the time required to do a job and p is the number of people working. If there are 10 people working, they will be able to finish the job in 3.5hrs.
The equation is y = 33x/z, and the value of y is 13.2 [?].

If the speed decreases the time increases.
If her speed is 50 kph, it takes her 4/5 hours.
She can take a shortcut or other way to avoid traffic and arrive home faster. (Any same thought)
s varies inversely as t. s = k/t
d = st
As the speed decreases, the time increases.
As the time decreases, the speed increases.

WHAT I CAN DO
- The graph shows the number of y hours it takes x workers to paint a room.
a) From the graph you can see that y decreases as x increases. So as the number of workers increases, the time it takes to paint the room decreases.
b) The equation is written as y = 8/x. 8, x and y show inverse variation.
c) The equation to find y when x = 5 is y = 8/5 . It takes 1.6 hours for the five workers to paint the room.
WHAT’S MORE (answers)
Activity 1
Answer may vary
In table A, when the value of x increases the value of y increases also. But in table B when the value of x increases, the value of y decreases.
In Table A, when the value of x is doubled/tripled, the value of y also doubled/tripled while in Table B, when the value of x is doubled/tripled, the value of y is divided into 2 or 3.
Table A is a direct variation while Table B is an inverse variation.
Table A: y = kx or y = 2x
Table B: y = k/x or y = 480/x [?]x = 4
