What is the constant of proportionality I. The equation y=5x?

2 answers:

8 0

The constant of proportionality is 5 because the equation would be y=kx but instead of k it has 5. k= constant of proportionality

Answer:

The value of the constant of proportionality is $k=5$

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 $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

The value of the constant k is equal to the value of the slope

In this problem we have

$y=5x$ ------> is a linear direct variation

The slope is $m=5$

therefore

The value of the constant of proportionality is $k=5$

Answer:

In this case study we have following groups:

1. Population: It had all the cars which passed the bicyclist. Out of which 3000 cars were taken.

2. Who: Each instance of a car passing a rider, means the drivers passing by.

That is the 3000 cars which passed the researcher on his bicycle.

3. What: The distance at which cars pass the bicycle rider. The distance the drivers stayed away from his bike.

-|-10|-(-10)
A negative outside of the “ | “ means that one number inside will be negative . -10-(-10)
An imaginary | will “appear” in between the two negative signs or it will turn into an addition sign.

-10+10
A positive subtracts negatives from the negative number. The answer is 0

I hope this helped.

Grace is standing 14 feet from a lighthouse and Kelly is standing 12 feet from Grace. The angle that Grace looks up to see the t

mezya [45]

To find the height of the lighthouse, use $tan45= \frac{h}{14}$ to get that h = 14 (the tangent of 45 is 1). Now for the next question, you have to use the height you just solved for to find angle y. Use $tan(y)= \frac{14}{26}$ and the inverse tangent button on your calculator tells us that the angle is 28.3. Now for the last question, use the supplement of 45 to get that the angle adjacent to y is 135. 180 - 135 - 28.3 = 16.7 That's your x value.

Answer:

The answer is, A. it is constant

Step-by-step explanation:

Between the x values 4 and 8 the line does not decrease or increase. It stays in a straight line causing it to be constant.
