will some one plz help Find the constant of proportionality and the unit rate for the data in the table. Then write an equation to represent the relationship between time t and distance d
" constant of proportionality" also known as "constant of variation" so we know that "time" is "directly proportional", or "varies directly" with "distance so \(\begin{array}{cccllll} \textit{something }&\textit{varies directly to }&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\ \textit{something }&={\color{red}{ \textit{some value }}}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\ y&={\color{red}{ n}}&x&\implies y={\color{red}{ n}}x \end{array}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{llll} x\qquad &y\\ \hline\\ 2&90\\ 3&135\\ 5&225\\ 6&270 \end{array}\qquad \begin{array}{llll} \textit{when x=2, y=90}\implies y={\color{red}{ n}}x\implies 90={\color{red}{ n}}(2) \\ \quad \\ \textit{what's the value for "n"?} \end{array}\)
anyhow, "n" would be your " constant of proportionality" also known as "constant of variation" once you find "n" plug its value in y = nx and that'd be the equation
