Question

A proportional relationship is represented by the equation 4y = 24x. If y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality what is the value of k? Show your work.

Please provide answer with explanation!!

Answer 1

Answer: k=6

Explanation:

4y=24x Divide both sides by 4

y=6x

y=kx you can see k=6

but if they want you to actually prove

substitue y=6x into y=kx

you get

6x=kx divide both sides by x

6=k
