Relations

Relationship of Partial Variation

Relationship of the form y = kx + b where k and b are not equal to zero.
The Cartesian graph of a relationship of partial variation is a line that does not pass through the origin and that is not parallel to the axes of the graph.

Example

The cost of a taxi ride is an example of partial variation. There is a base cost (b) followed by a direct variation based on the number (k) of kilometres covered by the taxi.
