Answer 1

THAT'S FOR QUESTION 3

@Atsie

Answer 2

Wow, I'm a tad baffled. Give me a second here.

Answer 3

@ghostrider02
Okay, so I have never heard of constant of proportionality.
I googled it, and there are quite a few different definitions.
Do you recollect which definition that you learned?

And @Tboi This is the question. :)

Answer 4

HANG ON

Answer 5

Constant of proportionality:

Unit rate; in the equation y = kx, k represents the constant of proportionality

Answer 6

OH AND CALL ME TRVIS☻

Answer 7

But what I'm not understanding is how we apply that to the graph.
Hmm...still looking it over.

Answer 8

@Atsie

Answer 9

I do not understand why I am clueless on this.
I mean it seems like the constant of proportionality has only to do with algebraic variables as we see in the definition given up above, but how would they apply to fractions?
I was able to help with your last question, but right now I think I'm gonna have to call in a few who are more advanced in mathematical thinking. (I'm a lil stupid -_-)
@pooja195 and @TheSmartOne may be able to help :)

Answer 10

This is the equation you use when you are dealing with a direct proportion. Something like: if I eat 1 cookie, 25 more cookies appear on my plate. Then how many cookies appear on my plate when I eat 5? :P

y = kx

where, k is the constant of proportionality, x is how many cookies I eat, and y is how many cookies now appear on my plate :P

k = xy is the equation for indirect proportion. Something like: It takes one person to build a house in 30 days. How long would it take for 30 people to build a house?

k = xy

k is the constant of proportionality, and as x increases, y will decrease. And if y increases, x will decrease.

Answer 11

Do you understand the concept now? :)

Answer 12

yes thanks

I'm glad that I could help :P
