Question

Can you please help me find the Constant Of Proportianality and the equation to solve this table?

Answer 1

You have two variables: time and biking distance.

The biking distance is the dependient variable y (because depend of the time)

The time is the independient variable x

To find the constan of proportionality you use the next:

`k=(y)/(x)`

If you make the calculation with all the data and get the same result, it is a proportional realtionship:

`\begin{gathered} (12)/(1)=12 \\ (26)/(2)=13 \\ (36)/(3)=12 \\ (44)/(4)=11 \\ (50)/(5)=10 \end{gathered}`

The relation between the variables is not proportional.
