Question

What is the constant of variation for the inverse variation? xy = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of variation is the constant in the equation: 8.

___

The equation can be rewritten to be

  y = 8/x

Compared to the generic equation for inverse variation, ...

  y = k/x

we see that the constant of variation (k) is the constant in the given equation, 8.
