<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
1- The constant of variation is 
2- The constant of variation is 
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
When two variables are in direct variation, this means that when one of them increases, the other increases and vice versa
<u>A direct variation relation is represented as follows:</u>
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation
Now, to get the constant of variation, all we have to do is substitute with the given x and y variables and solve for k
<u>For the given problems:</u>
<u>1-
</u>
<u>Therefore:</u>

<u>2-
</u>
<u>Therefore:</u>

Hope this helps :)
The rational root theorem tells you all roots are of the form
±(factor of 2)/(factor of 3)
We know one of the roots is -1 and all roots are negative, so the remaining roots must be of the form
-(factor of 2)/(factor of 3)
which is to say, two of
-1/3, -2/3, -1, -2
Since the roots are distinct, they must be -2 and -1/3. Then the factorization of the given polynomial is
(x +1)(x +2)(3x +1)
which multiplies out to be
3x³ +10x² +9x +2
a = 10
b = 9
A statement also know as an axiom which is taken to be true without proof.
Answer:
a+b=mx+b
