For the equation -4y = 8x , what is the constant of variation?
      A: -4
   B: -2
   C: 1
   D: 2

Respuesta :

TSO
-4y = 8x

Divide both sides by -4

y = -2x

This is in the form of y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
y = kx is the direct 

That means, k = -2. 

The constant of variation is B. -2.

Answer: B: -2


Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: [tex]-4y=8x[/tex]

To make it in standard form divide both sides by -4, we get

[tex]y=-2x[/tex]

Now this is in the standard form of y = mx, where m is the constant of variation.

[tex]\Rightarrow\ m=-2[/tex]

Thus, the constant of variation is -2.

The constant of variation (m) is the number that associates two variables that are directly proportional or inversely proportional to each another.
