What is the constant of variation for the equation y = 2x?

  1. 2x

  2. y

  3. 2

  4. x

The correct answer is: 2

The constant of variation in this equation represents the fixed ratio of change between the two variables, y and x. This means that for every increase in x by 1 unit, y will also increase by a fixed amount, which in this case is 2. The other options, A, B, and D, are all variables within the equation and are not representative of the constant of variation. Therefore, they are incorrect choices.
