Question

The graph represents the distance a car traveled over time.

What is the constant of proportionality K.

Answer 1

K=2/5

Explanation:

So, I’m assuming that by constant of proportionality you mean slope of the line. To do that, you just figure out how y changes with x. The easiest way to do this is rise over run (y over x). If you look at the graph, there is a point that pass through (0,0) and another that passes through (5,2) so if you count how many spaces we moved up then how many spaces we moved right, you will get the slope of the line. Spaces moved up are 2-0=2 and spaced moved right are 5-0=5. Use rise over run which is going to be 2/5. So, K=2/5.
