Question

Is `8y=x` a direct variation equation and if so what is the constant?

Answer 1

`k=1/8`

Explanation:

`"a direct variation equation is of the form"`

`•color(white)(x)y=kxlarrcolor(blue)"k is the constant of variation"`

`8y=xlarrcolor(blue)"divide both sides by 8"`

`rArry=1/8xlarrcolor(blue)"in standard form"`

`"with constant "k=1/8`
