  1. STEP 1 Write a general joint variation equation. STEP2 Use the given values of z, x, and y to find the constant of variation a. EXAMPLE 5 Write a joint variation equation The variable zvaries jointly with xand y. Also, z= –75 when x = 3 and y = –5. Write an equation that relates x, y, and z. Then find zwhen x = 2 and y = 6. SOLUTION z = axy –75 = a(3)(–5) Substitute 75 for z, 3 for x, and 25 for y. –75 = –15a Simplify. 5 = a Solve for a.

  2. STEP 3 Rewrite the joint variation equation with the value of afrom Step 2. STEP 4 Calculate zwhen x = 2 and y = 6 using substitution. EXAMPLE 5 Write a joint variation equation z = 5xy z = 5xy= 5(2)(6) = 60
