To find the constant of variation in an inverse variation, we use the formula:
y = k/x
where y and x are the variables in the inverse variation and k is the constant of variation.
Given the ordered pair (7, 10), we can plug in these values into the formula to solve for k:
10 = k/7
To solve for k, we multiply both sides by 7:
k = 10 * 7
k = 70
Therefore, the constant of variation in the inverse variation represented by the ordered pair (7, 10) is 70.
The ordered pair below is from an inverse variation. Find the constant of variation.
