Question

The amount that Ronnie earns, E, in terms of the number of hours that he works, h, is shown in

the graph below.
What is the constant of proportionality. E/h for this situation

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality bus the amount earned by Ronnie, E, all over the corresponding hours he used in working, h.

Constant of proportionality =
`(E)/(h)`

From the graph given, when h = 5, E = 40.

Therefore:

Constant of proportionality =
`(E)/(h) = (40)/(5) = 8`
