Answer:
The constant of variation = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Table is a direct variation
x y
4 14
4.3 15.05
5 17.5
If y varies directly with x then the equation is y=kx
where k is the contant of variation
LEts find out k the constant of variation.
LEts plug in x and y value using the table in the equation y=kx
x=4 and y= 14
[tex]y=kx[/tex]
[tex]14=k(4)[/tex]
[tex]14=4k[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
k= 3.5
The constant of variation = 3.5
