Question

Two quantities a and b have a proportional relationship where a is -4 and b -3 create an equation to represent this relationship

Answer 1

a = (4/3)b

Explanation:

The governing equation here has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Let's rewrite that as a = kb, and then substitute -4 for a and -3 for b:

-4 = k(-3), or k = 4/3

Then a = (4/3)b
