The term Constant of Variation is used to denote the constant factor in a relationship of direct or inverse variation between two variables, often symbolized as 'k'. In the case of direct variation, depicted as y=kx, the value of 'k' can be determined by the division of y by x. Conversely, in an inverse variation, represented as y=k/x, 'k' is ascertained by multiplying y with x.

| None | If \(y = kx^2\), where \(k\) is a constant, and \… | First, substitute \(x = 5\) and \(y = 25\) into the equation \(y = kx^2\), we get \(25 = k(5)^2\). |
