The constant of variation in an http://wiki.answers.com/Q/inverse-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) product between two variable quantities.The formula for indirect variation is xy = k..where k is the constant of variation.The constant of variation in a http://wiki.answers.com/Q/direct-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two http://wiki.answers.com/Q/variables.html quantities. The formula for direct variation is y = kx..where k is the constant of variation.
what is the constant variation of k if x=.5 and y=1
yes y=kx is the formula for direct variation, and k represents constant of variation which can also be called slope.
Two variables, X and Y, are in direct variation if Y = kX for some constant k. The graph of Y as a function of X will be a straight line through the origin.
There are infinitely many types of variation.
