Question

Does the equation `y/6 = x` represent a direct variation and if so, identify the constant of variation?

Answer 1

Constant of variation for `y prop x` is `6`
Constant of variation for `x prop y` is `1/6`

Explanation:

Yes. `y/6 =x or y =6x` i.e `y prop x or y=k*x` So constant of variation is `6`. Alternately `x prop y or x=k*y :. k=1/6` So here constant of variation is `1/6`[Ans]
