Question

The variables x and y very directly. Use the values to find the constant of proportionality K then write equation that relates to x and y. Write any fraction in simplest form. Y equals 20 and X equals 12

Answer 1

k=5/3

Explanation:

The variables x and y vary directly. Given that, y = 20 and x = 12

We can write it as :

y=kx

Where k is constant of proportionality

Put the values of x and y

20=12k

k = 20/12

k = 5/3

So, the value of the constant of proportionality is 5/3.
