2

StartFraction 9 over 2 EndFraction

9

Answer 1

Answer: Theoretically the answer will be (C)-9/2 If im wrong let me know

Explanation:

Answer 2

(C)9/2

Explanation:

Given the equation

`(x)/(y)= (2)/(9)`

Two variables are in direct proportion when it is written in the form y=kx where k is the proportionality constant. To obtain the constant of proportionality, we simply make y the subject of the equation.

Therefore, we cross multiply.

2y=9x

Divide both sides by 2

`y= (9)/(2)x`

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in the equation is 9/2.
