Answer:
Variation constant = [tex]-(\frac{5}{3})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If two variables x and y represent a direct variation then they will have the relation as y = kx
Here k is the constant of variation.
Since the given equation that represent a direct variation is 5x = -3y
3y = -5x
[tex]y=(-\frac{5}{3})x[/tex]
If we compare this equation with y = kx then we find [tex]k=(-\frac{5}{3})[/tex]
Therefore constant of variation is [tex]-(\frac{5}{3})[/tex]
