Question

The variables x and y are in a proportional

relationship. When x is 1/4, y is 6. If the
equation y=kx represents the relationship
between xand y, where k is the constant of
proportionality, what is the value of k?

Answer 1

K =24

Explanation:

`x = 1 / 4 \\ y = 6 \\ therefore \: since \: y = kx \\ 6 = k1 / 4 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 1 / 4 = 6 / 1 / 4 = 6 * 4 / 1 = 24`
