Question

It is given that s varies directly as q.Write an equation that specifies the variation and find the constant of variation if s is 4 and q stands for 6.

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Given that s varies directly as q

⇒ s is proportional to q

⇒ s ∝ q

⇒ s = K*q

where K is the constant of proportionality.

Now, given that if s = 4, then q = 6

⇒ 4 = K*6

⇒ K = 4/6 = 2/3

Hence, the constant of variation is given by K = 2/3.

Hope, it helped !

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Define k:

Let the constant be k

s varies directly with q

s = kq

When s = 4, q = 6

4 = k(6)

k = 4/6 = 2/3

Answer: The constant is 2/3
