Question

The graph of a proportional relationship contains the point (-30, 18)

Answer 1

Answer:

$k=-\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

we have the point (-30,18)

so

x=-30, y=18

Find the value of k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

substitute

$k=\frac{18}{-30}$

Simplify

Divide by 6 both numerator and denominator

$k=-\frac{3}{5}$
