Question

What is the constant proportionality in the equation y=0.41x

Answer 1

A constant is something that's always there. 0.41 will always be multipled to x regardless of x, so the constant is 0.41 proportionally

Answer 2

`0.41 \:or\:(41)/(100)`

Explanation:

Proportional functions are written in this form:

`y=kx`

So, for this function the slope m=0.41 it's also the constant of proportionality. As We can check the graph below. Geometrically, its graph passes through the origin (0,0)

`\left\{\begin{matrix}x=1&2&3 \:(...)\\ y=0.41&0.82&1.23 \:(...)\end{matrix}\right.`
