What is a Variation Constant?

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.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ k = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \]

The Variation Constant is 4.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ k = \frac{45}{9} = 5 \]

The Variation Constant is 5.
