Answer:

Constant of variation: 1/4

Slope of the line: 1/4

Explanation:

The constant of variation means the relationship between variables does not change. When we want to identify the constant of variation for an equation, it is helpful to refer to one of the following formulas: xy = k (inverse variation) or y/x = k (direct variation), where k is the constant of variation.

The slope formula states that m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1). The slope formula can be read as "slope equals the second y coordinate minus the first y-coordinate over the second x-coordinate minus the first x-coordinate".
