xy = –12. What is the constant of variation for this relationship?
A.
-1/4
B.
–1.2
C.
–0.12
D.
–12
I think its -12 am i correct
I think so. Not 100% thought.
To find the constant of variation for the relationship xy = -12, we need to determine the relationship between x and y. The equation xy = -12 is in the form of a linear relationship, y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
To find k, we can rearrange the equation to solve for y:
y = -12/x
Now we can compare this equation to y = kx and see that the constant of variation is the coefficient of x, which in this case is -12.
Therefore, the constant of variation for the relationship xy = -12 is D. -12.
