Answer:

k=ab

Step-by-step explanation:

a=k/b

a(b)=(k/b)(b)---multiple b to both sides to isolate k

k=ab

Answer:

k is the constant of variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation:

y\propto x

y=kx

In inverse variation:

y\propto \frac{1}{x}

y=\frac{k}{x}

yx=k

In both cases k is the constant of variation

The given equation is

a=\frac{k}{b}

We need to find the value of k in this equation.

First we have to isolate k on one side of the equation.

Multiply both sides by b to isolate k on right side.

a\times b=\frac{k}{b}\times b

Cancel out the common factors.

ab=k

Interchange the sides of the equation.

k=ab

It means a and b are inversely proportional.

Therefore, the k is the constant of variation.
