Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alla [95]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The constant of variation is k = -2 ⇒ (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where

  • k is the constant of variation
  • The constant of variation k = \frac{y}{x}

The given table has 4 points (-1, 2), (0, 0), (2, -4), (5, -10)

We can use one of the points <em>[except point (0, 0)]</em> to find the value of k

∵ (-1, 2) is a given point

∴ x = -1 and y = 2

∵ k = \frac{y}{x}

→ Substitute the values of x and y in the relation above

∴ k = \frac{2}{-1}

∴ k = -2

The constant of variation is k = -2
