Calculate the constant of variation if y varies directly as x.
1 answer:
Answer:
Option A is correct.
The constant of variation is,
Step-by-step explanation:
The Direct variation says that:
if a vary directly to b then, the equation is of the form: a = kb where k is the constant of variation.
Given: if y varies directly as x.
By definition of direct Variation:
y = kx where is the constant of variation.
It is also given that: y = -3 and x =2
Solve for k;
-3 = 2k
Divide both sides by 2 we have;
Therefore, the constant of variation is,

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.
The figure is the combination of trapezoid and square.
Then the area of the geometry will be
Area = Area of trapezoid + Area of square
Area = 1/2 x (3 + 9) x 5 + 3 x 3
Area = 30 + 9
Area = 39 square meters
