Direct Variation and Inverse Variation Finding the Missing Values

If y = kx, for a positive constant value k, the variable y is said to vary ________ as x.

Constant of variation is also denoted by the letter_.

What is the constant of variation, k, given this table of values?

• k = 6

• k = 1/6

• k = 7

• k = 1/7

Given this table of values and constant of variation, k = 7, what is the variation equation?

• y = 9

• y = 35

• y = 25

• y = 7

Given this table of values and our constant of variation, k = 7, what does x = ? when y = 63?

• x = 9
