Question

The ordered pair below is from an inverse variation. Find the constant of variation. (3,2). K=

Answer 1

• k = 6

-------------------

An inverse variation is:

• y = k/x, where k- constant of variation

Substitute x = 3 and y = 2 to find the value of k:

• 2 = k/3
• k = 6

So, the constant of variation is 6.
