hi mathstudent55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ltrout

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im pretty sure the answer is B because it is the only one that goes up by 7 each time

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Hi. Direct variation means that for the same change in x, you get the same change in y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then B would be the correct answer then right because the change is the same in each one

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the constant of variation?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That is the same as the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if a question is asking me how to find the constant of variation in an inverse relation how would i do so?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Find two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Divide the first difference by the second difference. That will give you the slope or constant of variation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me to find it if i open a new question and tag you?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes
