The constant of variation is the number that relates two variables.
To know what the constant of variation is, you first have to identify what type of variation is occurring: direct or inverse.
The formula for direct variation is: y=kx
The formula for inverse variation is: xy=k
Since the question matches for formula for inverse variation, we know that that's the type of relationship. In both equations, k is the constant of variation.
So it's important to identify the type of variation and the value of k in order to understand the relationship.
So, The constant of variation is −25 and the relationship is one of inverse variation
