What is true about the constant of variation for an inverse variation relationship?
It is the product of the independent variable and the square of the dependent variable.
It is the product of the independent and dependent variables.
It is the ratio of the constant of variation to the dependent variable.
It is the ratio of the dependent and independent variables.

Answer 1

Explanation:

equation for inverse variation, meaning x is inversely related to y.

`y=(k)/(x)`

Where

> k is your constant

>x is your independent variable because you always pick x,'s

>y is your dependent because you pick x and results in a y, therefore it is dependent on x

Evaluating answers:

>not A, nothing is being squared in the equation so not this answer

>Yes B (I think), because k= xy if you bring it over to the other side.

>Yes C (I think), It is a ratio(fraction) of x

>not D, I don't think it can be ratio of both variables
