Question

The table shows a direct variation.

What is the constant of variation?

x y
4 14
4.3 15.05
5 17.5

Answer 1

the constant of variation is 3.5 !!! Hope this helps you

Answer 2

The constant of variation = 3.5

Explanation:

Table is a direct variation

x y

4 14

4.3 15.05

5 17.5

If y varies directly with x then the equation is y=kx

where k is the contant of variation

LEts find out k the constant of variation.

LEts plug in x and y value using the table in the equation y=kx

x=4 and y= 14

`y=kx`

`14=k(4)`

`14=4k`

Divide both sides by 4

k= 3.5

The constant of variation = 3.5
