Question

which equation represents a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to 1/5

Answer 1

Option C is correct

y = 1/5 x

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option C is correct

`y = (1)/(5)x`

Explanation:

The Proportional relationship says that:

`y \propto x` then

the equation is of the form :

y = kx .....[1] where k is the constant of Proportionality

As per the statement:

Constant of proportionality (k) =
`(1)/(5)`

Substitute in [1] we get;

`y = (1)/(5)x`

Therefore, an equation represents a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to 1/5 is
`y = (1)/(5)x`
