If y varies directly as x and y is 400 when x is r and y is r when x is 4, what is the numeric constant of variation in this relation?

The  numeric constant of variation in this relation is 40

If y varies directly as x, this is expressed as;

k is the constant of proportionality

If y is 400 when x is r, then;

400 = kr

k = 400/r .................. 1

If y is r when x is 4, then;

r = 4k

k = r/4 ............................2

Equate equation 1 and 2

400/r = r/4

r² = 1600

r = √1600

r = 40

Hence the  numeric constant of variation in this relation is 40

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5

happy to

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
