Question

The distance a bus travels is proportional to time as shown in the table. Write an equation in the form y=kx to represent this relationship. Express the constant of proportionality as a decimal. Identify the constant of proportionality and interpret its meaning. Express your answers as decimals. The constant of proportionality is (blank). This means that the bus travels (blank) miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:k = 93.75 miles/1.5 hours = 62.5 mph = 62.5 timesThe constant of proportionality is 62.5. Now this means the bus travels 62.5 miles per hour. :)

Answer 2

k = 93.75 miles/1.5 hours = 62.5 mph

y = 62.5x

The constant of proportionality is 62.5. This means that the bus travels 62.5 miles per hour.
