Explanation:
To determine the constant of proportionality (k) in a proportional relationship, we need to compare corresponding values of x and y and calculate the ratio between them.
Let's examine the given values:
2. UX: x 6 15 9 y 42 200
To find the constant of proportionality (k), we can take any pair of corresponding values and calculate their ratio. Let's choose the first pair: (6, 42).
k = y / x
k = 42 / 6
k = 7
So, the constant of proportionality (k) is 7.
Now, let's find the missing values for the second set of values:
d. X: 14 y: 21 6 15 3 7 8
Since we know the constant of proportionality is 7, we can calculate the missing values of y by multiplying each corresponding x value by 7.
Missing values for y:
- For x = 21, y = 21 * 7 = 147
- For x = 6, y = 6 * 7 = 42
- For x = 15, y = 15 * 7 = 105
- For x = 3, y = 3 * 7 = 21
- For x = 7, y = 7 * 7 = 49
- For x = 8, y = 8 * 7 = 56
Therefore, the missing values of y are: 147, 42, 105, 21, 49, and 56.
