Question

What is there constant variation of y=kx through (5,8)

Answer 1

The value of constant of variation "k" is

Solution:

Given that the direct variation is:

y = kx ----- eqn 1

Where "k" is the constant of variation

Given that the point is (5, 8)

To find the value of "k" , substitute (x, y) = (5, 8) in eqn 1

Thus the value of constant of variation "k" is k = 8/5 or 1.6

I hope this is correct and helps!
