What is the slope of a constant velocity?

constant slope. really anything will work as long as it stays the same. so if your line is straight then you have a constant velocity. :)


Find the constant variation for -3x plus 2y equals 0?

2y - 3x = 0Put into Slope-Intercept form:2y = 3xDivide by 2:y = 3/2 * x = 1.5x3/2, or 1.5 is the constant of variation.


When is a linear function considered to be a direct variation?

Direct variation means that a linear function can be written as y = kx. The y-intercept must be (0, 0). The constant, k, is the slope.
