Question

How do you write the constant of proportionality in word form when the consent of proportionality is y=60(x)

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality is equal to sixty

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y/x=k` or
`y=kx`

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

`y=60x`

so

`m=k=60`

therefore

The constant of proportionality is equal to sixty
