The formula to calculate the variation constant is:
\[ k = \frac{Y}{X} \]
Where:
The variation constant, often denoted as \(k\), is a number that relates two variables that are directly proportional or inversely proportional to each other. In direct variation, as one variable increases, the other variable increases at a constant rate. In inverse variation, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases at a constant rate. The constant of variation is a fundamental concept in algebra and is used to solve various types of variation problems.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ k = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \]
The Variation Constant is 4.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ k = \frac{45}{9} = 5 \]
The Variation Constant is 5.
