Does the equation represent a direct variation? If so, find the constant of variation. 5x = -3y A. yes; k = 5/3 B. yes; k = -5/3 C. yes; k = 3/5 D. no

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Direct variation is represented in general by \(y = kx\) Solve your equation for y. If your equation has the form y = kx, then it is direct variation, and the number multiplying x is k, the constant of variation.
