You can't draw a clear line here, because there is a large spectrum between 100% direct democracy and 100% representative democracy.

In a 100% representative democracy, 100% of all legislative decisions are made by elected representatives. The only public votes would be to elect the representative.

In a 100% direct democracy, 100% of all legislative decisions would be made by referendum. There would be no need for any elected legislators. The only people who might be elected would be executive officials without mandate who would be bound by law to enforce the referendums. I could not name any democracy where this is the case.

And then there are many, many jurisdictions in between where some legislative decisions are made by representatives and others by public referendum.

• There is a spectrum regarding how powerful referendums are. In the United Kingdom, referendums can be ignored by the representatives. In Switzerland, referendums can override decisions made by representatives and even change the constitution.
• There is a spectrum regarding which aspects of legislation can be decided by referendum and which are not. For example, the Federal Republic of Germany allows and requires a referendum for exactly one thing: Changing the borders between the federal states. Everything else on federal level is decided by representatives (Some federal states allow referendums on other matters, though).
• There is a spectrum regarding what it takes to get a vote on a referendum. Sometimes only representatives can suggest them. Sometimes it requires a certain number of signatures from citizens to be collected in a certain timeframe. The higher the hurdle to get a referendum, the less decision by referendum you will have.
