Question

Determine whether y varies directly with x. if so, find the constant of the variation.y-6x=0

Answer 1

First, we have to isolate the variable y:

y-6x=0

y= 6x

We can see that if x changes its value, it also does the y variable.

So, y varies directly with x.

The constant of variation is:

y =k x

Where k is the constant.

In this case , the constant of variation is 6.
