Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. Here follows the most common kinds of variation.

The constant of variation in a direct variation is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two variable quantities. In the following equation y varies directly with x, and k is called the constant of variation:

y=kx

Another form of variation is the inverse variation which works when there is a relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant. When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged.
