To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- You have that the equation of the line is:
Where is the slope and
is the y-intercept.
2- Based on the information given in the problem, the lines and
are parallel, which means that both have the same slope. Therefore, you can calculate the slope of
:
3- Use the coordinates of the point to calculate the y-intercept:
4. Solve for :
5. The equation of the line is:
The answer is:
The constant of proportionality is equal to 11.
<h3>Constant of Proportionality</h3>The constant of proportionality is the ratio that relates two given values in what is known as a proportional relationship. Other names for the constant of proportionality include the constant ratio, constant rate, unit rate, constant of variation, or even the rate of change.
In this question, the constant of proportionality is that value that doesn't change or represents the number of players while x represented the number of games they played.
The constant of proportionality can be solved mathematically as
The constant of proportionality is the value that makes y = 11x and it is 11.
