Answer 1

HI!!!

Answer 2

what do you think?

Answer 3

jk
when it looks like
\[y=\color{red}kx\] the constant is \(\color{red}d\)

Answer 4

oops i mean the constant is \(\color{red}k\)
now sure why they always use K though

Answer 5

Okay

Answer 6

for example
\[y=3x\] constant is 3

Answer 7

Let me post the question I'm doing really quick

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

must be a hell of a question

Answer 10

The amount a car dealership earns for selling a car is directly proportional to the
price of the car. The table shows this relationship.
What is the constant of proportionality?
Car price(x)/amount earned (y) so its, 20000/1000= 30000/1500=40000/2000
So I figured since it goes by 500s, that I'd simplify to 10000/500, but now I don't know what to do.

Answer 11

i think they are all 20

Answer 12

20?

Answer 13

all those fractions are 20 right?

Answer 14

\[20000\div 1000=20\] and so on

Answer 15
