Question

It is given that yvaries directly as x. If y= 5 when x= 4 determine the constant of variation,

Answer 1

Answer:

$k=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y varies directly as x. It means,

y = kx

Where

k is the constant of variation

or

$k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{5}{4}$

So, the constant of variation is $\dfrac{5}{4}$.
