directrix · Answer

The general form for linear direct variation is this:

y = k*x where k is the constant of variation.

y = 10*x is your equation.

Can you pick out the constant of variation?

gokuporter · Answer

So 10 is the constant of variation?

directrix · Answer

Yes. 

Direct linear variation with variation constant of 10

gokuporter · Answer

So that's it?

directrix · Answer

Yes. After that 5th root problem, we deserve a break!
