Find the constant of variation when y=6 varies directly with x=3

The constant of variation is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where k is the constant of variation

Let us solve the question

∵ x and y are in the direct variation

→ Use the form of the equation above

∴ The equation of variation is y = k x

∵ x = 3

∵ y = 6

→ Substitute them in the equation above

∴ 6 = k (3)

∴ 6 = 3k

→ To find k divide both sides by 3

∵ =

∴ 2 = k

∵ k is the constant of variation

∴ The constant of variation is 2

good luck on your studies! : )

“ a line segment that has the endpoints on the circle and passes through the midpoint is called the diameter. the diameter is twice the size of the radius. a line segment that has its endpoints on the circular border but does not pass through the midpoint is called a chord. a circle is the same as 360 small circle up the number 0 . i hope this .
