The ordered pair below is from an inverse variation. Find the constant of variation.
(7,10)
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.
