Question

Find the constant of variation for the relationship shown in the following table:

Two row table. First row head is x. First row data are one, two, three, four. Second row head is y. Second row data are three, six, nine, twelve.

if you want an actual picture of the table please ask : )


A.
3

B.
4

C.
2

D.
1

Answer 1

In order to get the constant of variation, you can either make a linear equation that relates x and y in which the slope is the constant of variation

LINEARIZING

x = 3y

the slope of the equation is 3 and therefore the constant of variation is 3
