What is the constant of variation in y equals -4x?
It is -4.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.
Is the problem y equals 3x a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
y=3x is a direct variation in that y varies directly with x by a factor of 3. Any linear equation (a polynomial of degree 1, which is a polynomial equation with a highest exponent of 1), is a direct variation of y to x by some constant, and this constant is simply the coefficient of the "x" term. Other examples: y=(1/2)x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is 1/2 y=-9x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is -9
The variables x and y vary directly when x equals -5 and y equals 21 what is the constant of variation?
y = kx k = y/x = 21/-5 = - 21/5
A varies directly as b and a equals 12 when b equals 4 What is the constant of variation?
a varies directly as b and a = 12 when b = 4. What is the constant of variation?
What is the constant of variation if y varies directly with x and if y equals 500 when x equals 10?

Find the variation constant and an equation of variation where y varies directly as x and y equals 10 when x equals 37?
y = kx: 10 = 37k so k = 10/37 and y = 10x/37
What is the constant of variation in y equals -4x?
It is -4.
Is y equals 2x plus 5 a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?
No, it is not a direct variation.

The variables x and y vary directly when x equals -5 and y equals 21 what is the constant of variation?
y = kx k = y/x = 21/-5 = - 21/5
F x varies directly with x and y equals -2 when x equals 8 Find the constant of variation k?
What is y? Fx varies with x, but y could be anything.
What does constant of variation mean?
It means if it is the constant rate of a number kind of like a direct variation. Like if you say 10 divided by 5 it equals 2 and if you say 4 divided by 2 it equals 2 so that's constant I hope I could help you
Is 2x plus 3y equals 0 a direct variation?
Direct variation refers to two variable quantities have a constant (unchanged) ratio, in which a variable "varies directly with the other."In order to have a direct variation, the constant of variation must be not equal to 0 in the equation y=kx, where k is the constant.When you try to put 2x+3y=0 into that formula (y= form), you get:2x+3y=03y=-2x ;Subtract the 2xy=(-2/3)x ;Divide by 3Your constant of variation is -2/3, and since it is less than 0, it is does variate directly. Therefore, y varies directly as x.
