Question

For Nikita’s plan,the value of the constant of variation is?

Answer 1

The value of the constant variation for Nikita's plan is 15.

From the graph given, we can use the pair of points to determine the value of the constant variation :

• (4, 60)

Using the relationship for constant variation :

• y = kx ; k = constant of proportionality

Now we have :

60 = 4k

k = 60/4

k = 15

Hence, the value of the constant variation for Nikita's plan is 15.
