Question

X 8 16 24 32Y 1 2 3 4 calculate the constant of proportionality K for the given table

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we use the following expression.

`y=kx`

Where we have to use two pair of values x = 8, and y = 1. We replace these values in the formula.

`1=k\cdot8`

Then, we solve for k.,

`k=(1)/(8)`

Hence, the constant is 1/8.
