For the equation -4y=8x−4y=8x, what is the constant of variation?
1 Answer
The constant of variation is
Explanation:
We can solve this equation for
-4y=8x−4y=8x
color(white)(-4)y=(8x)/-4−4y=8x−4
color(white)(-4y)=-2x−4y=−2x
Now we have an equation that says, "
Can we show this?
Let
y^star = -2x^stary⋆=−2x⋆
Which means
y^star = -2(x+1)" "y⋆=−2(x+1) (sincex^star = x+1x⋆=x+1 )
color(white)(y^star) = -2x-2y⋆=−2x−2
But wait,
y^star = y - 2y⋆=y−2
And there we go! When
