Joint Variation
6.7 – Variation and Problem Solving
If the ratio of a variable y to the product of two or more variables is constant, then y varies jointly as, or is jointly proportional, to the other variables.
Therefore, if , then the number k is the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.
