The variation constant is k=
The equation of variations is y=

Question

I'm not really sure what you want here. But if i understand correctly, it will be y=4x.

thus, when x = 8, it will be y = 4*8 = 32

is that what you want?

Honestly I'm not really sure either :(,  sounds good though thank you!!

What would the k =?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

y = kx

32=k(8)

32/8 = k

k = 4

So the equation is y = 4x

ok so k=4 and y=kx?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

k=4 and y=4x

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

You replace k with 4
