In direct variation, as one variable increases, does the constant increase,decrease, or remain the same?
-------------------------------------------
If by constant you mean the "constant of variation",
it's value changes as the x and/or y variables change.
-------------
But once a certain x/y pair is determined the constant
of variation is fixed for the situation being studied.
That fact allows other x/y pairs to be determined.
