Question

What is the constant of variation k of the line y=kx through (5,8)

Answer 1

Answer:

k= 8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

here x= 5 and y= 8

we have y=kx

k= y/x

k= 8/5 this is constant of variation

Answer 2

Answer:

$k=\frac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

find the constant of variation k of the line y=kx through (5,8)

Use equation of line $y=kx$

k is the constant of variation

LEts find out k using the point (5,8)

x=5 and y=8, plug in the values

$8=k(5)$

To get k alone, divide by 5 on both sides

$k=\frac{8}{5}$
