Let x = amount of time the Arlen family must catch up to overtake the Harris family

In principle, the Harris and the Arlen family should cover the same distance. Since distance is speed x time,

45 (6+y) = 58y

270 + 45y = 58y

58y - 45y = 270

y = 270 ÷ 13

y= 20.77min

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at the graph this is an increasing graph where y increases with respect to x so in other words we can say that y is directly proportional to x.

y\ \alpha\ x\\

and when we remove the proportionality sign we replace it with an equal to sign and a constant. So it becomes ,

y = kx\\

now to find the Constant of proportionality which is k we can use any ordered pair(coordinate/point) from the graph,

Lets take ( 2 , 4) where 2 represents the value of x on the x-axis and 4 represents the value of y on the y-axis so now,

y=kx\\(4)=k(2)\\4=2k\\4/2=k\\k=2\\

so the constant of proportionality is 2
