Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Direct variation states that a relationship between the two variables. we say y varies directly as x

i.e,  or y =kx.................[1] ;  where k is the constant of variation.

Given the equation:

Divide both sides by -4 we get;

Simplify:

            .......[2]

On comparing equation [2] with [1] we get;

k = -2
