    What's the Formula Connecting Distance, Speed, and Time?

    When you have constant speed, the same formula pops up over and over again, and that's the formula that connects distance, speed, and time. Make sure you know this formula, and if you want a refresher, check out the tutorial!

    • What's the Direct Variation or Direct Proportionality Formula?What's the Direct Variation or Direct Proportionality Formula?

    What's the Direct Variation or Direct Proportionality Formula?

    Ever heard of two things being directly proportional? Well, a good example is speed and distance. The bigger your speed, the farther you'll go over a given time period. So as one variable goes up, the other goes up too, and that's the idea of direct proportionality. But you can express direct proportionality using equations, and that's an important thing to do in algebra. See how to do that in the tutorial!
