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.
Yes.
y = k/x of xy = k where k is a constant.
Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inverse variation if XY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.
Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
