<span>The constant of proportionality (known as "speed" in this case) is 12.5 miles per hour. 
d= 12.5 x t 
</span>

To find the constant of proportionality, divide one value in each pair by the other. If this relationship is a true direct proportionality , when you repeat these for every pair, your will come up with the same value:

For example

<span>25miles÷2hours=12.5<span>mileshour</span></span>

A direct proportionality will always result in an equation that resembles this:

<span>y=kx</span>

where y and x are the related quantities and k is the constant of proportionality. If you draw a graph using the values you have, the graph will show a straight line the passes through the origin. The slope of this line will be the constant of proportionality. (And if the values given are real physical quantities, this constant will contain important information about the situation you are studying!)

The equation is 12.5n where n stands for any hour that Phil is riding his bike. I'm using the nth term here though.

What is the percent of change from 4,000 to 600?<br> work too plz
xenn [34]
\frac { n }{ 100 } \cdot 4,000=600\\ \\ 4,000\cdot n=60,000\\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ n=\frac { 60,000 }{ 4,000 }

\\ \\ =\frac { 60\cdot 1,000 }{ 4\cdot 1,000 } \\ \\ =\frac { 60 }{ 4 } \\ \\ =15

As 15% of 4,000 is 600, the percentage change was -85%.

A painter is painting a wall with an area of 150 ft2. He decides to paint half of the wall and then take a break. After his brea
fgiga [73]
First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1 = 2 and r = 4.
zavuch27 [327]
We are given with
a1 = 2
r = 4

These are components of a geometric series. The first term is 2 and the common ratio is 4. To get the first six terms, we use the formula:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
a1 = 2 (4)^(1-1) = 2
a2 = 2 (4)^(2-1) = 8
a3 = 2 (4)^(3-1) = 32
a4 = 2 (4)^(4-1) = 128
a5 = 2 (4)^(5-1) = 512
a6 = 2 (4)^(6-1) = 2048
