Question

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation. 4x = –6y

Answer 1

either -6/4 or -4/6 I thing it's -4/6 or 2/3 im not to sure

Explanation:

Answer 2

The constant k is equal to
`-(2/3)`

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y/x=k` or
`y=kx`

In this problem we have

`4x=-6y`

Isolate the variable y

`y=-(4/6)x`

Simplify

`y=-(2/3)x`

In a direct variation the constant k is equal to the slope of the line

`m=k=-(2/3)`
