How do you determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given (0, 0), (3, 12), (9, 36)? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Direct Variation 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Oct 2, 2015 See explanation Explanation: It is #k=(12-0)/(3-0)=4# hence the constant of variation is #4# Answer link Related questions What is Direct Variation?
