Question

Whats the constant proportionality of the table. x 30 24 9 y 10 8 3

Answer 1

Let:

y = kx

Where:

k = constant proportionality of the table

If x = 30, y = 10:

10 = k30

Solving for k:

k = 10/30 = 1/3

Verify the answer:

If x = 24, y = 8:

y = kx = 1/3*24 =24/3 = 8

Therefore, the constant proportionality of the table is 1/3
