Find the Constant of Variation y=12 , x=1

$y = 12$ , $x = 1$

Step 1

When two variable quantities have a constant ratio, their relationship is called a direct variation. It is said that one variable varies directly as the other. The formula for direct variation is $y = k x$ , where $k$ is the constant of variation.

$y = k x$

Step 2

Solve the equation for $k$ , the constant of variation.

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

Step 3

Replace the variables $x$ and $y$ with the actual values.

$k = \frac{12}{1}$

Step 4

Divide $12$ by $1$ .

$k = 12$
