Given the statement:

y varies directly as x and y is 20 when x is 4

Determine the constant of variation.

Solution:

In order to determine the constant of variation, we simply need to divide the value of y by the value of x, since y is greater than x.

= 20/4

= 5

Final answer:

Constant of variation = 5
