Find the Constant of Variation y=6 x=8

$y = 6$ $x = 8$

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.

$y = k x$

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

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

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

$k = \frac{6}{8}$

Cancel the common factor of $6$ and $8$ .

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$k = \frac{2 (3)}{8}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$k = \frac{2 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 4}$

Cancel the common factor.

$k = \frac{2 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 4}$

Rewrite the expression.

$k = \frac{3}{4}$
