Yes, you can have a negative coefficient in a direct variation. So if you had y = -7x, that would be a direct variation.

If you have y = -x, I do not know, if that is what you mean.

Hope it helped.

Of course it is! If the mean of a set of data is negative, then the coefficient of variation will be negative.

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

How do you calculate coefficient of variation in spss?

The coefficient of variation is a method of measuring how spread out the values ​​in a data set are relative to the mean. It is calculated as follows: Coefficient of variation = Οƒ / ΞΌ Where: Οƒ = standard deviation of the data set ΞΌ = average of the data set If you want to know more about it, you can visit SilverLake Consulting which will help you calculate the coefficient of variation in spss.
