Answer:
[tex]r = 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Direct Variation
(0,0) ,(3,12),(9,36)
Required
Constant of Variation
Provided that the given data is a direct variation, the constant variation is represented by r.
r is calculated as thus;
[tex]y = rx[/tex]
Divide both sides by x
[tex]r = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]
Point (0,0) is the center of origin and cannot be used
When x = 3, y = 12
and
[tex]r = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]
[tex]r = 4[/tex]
When x = 3, y = 12
and
[tex]r = \frac{36}{9}[/tex]
[tex]r = 4[/tex]
Notice that the value of r remain constant in both cases; Hence, the constant of variation is; [tex]r = 4[/tex]
