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.
