    I believe u just have to corss multiple in order to get answer

    y/x = 2/3

    2x = 3y

    x = 3y/2

    Hope this helps write back if u don't get it.

    The constant ratio is called the constant of variation. The formula for direct variation is y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.. .

    y/x = 2/3
    therefore
    y = 2/3 (x)

    k is therefore 2/3

    The constant of variation is 2/3

    I agreed with ywally but my comment should have been:
    y=kx is the correct form

    Please start posting your own question on your own new thread rather than tagging onto someone else's. (Especially when the topics aren't even related and the thread is three years old.) It gets to be an awful waste of time for use to look through a bunch of threads just to get to the bottom and discover it's something else.

    Also no need to post the same thing 3 times.
