Question

The total amount, a, in dollars, that Mitra earns is a = 14.6h, where h is the number of hours that she works. What is the constant of proportionality? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. I have an answer Im just sure :/

Answer 1

14.6 is the constant because no matter how many hours she will work (that number could change) it will always be a linear growth of 14.6.

Answer 2

Find out the what is the constant of proportionality .

To prove

As given

The total amount, a, in dollars, that Mitra earns is a = 14.6h .

The total amount in dollars is represented by a.

the number of hours that Mitra works by h .

As the total amount is depand upon the working hours.

Thus

`a \propto h`

a = kh

Where k is the constant of proportionality .

Compare this with the equation a = kh with a = 14.6h .

k =14.6

Therefore 14.6 is the constant of proportionality .
