Question

A constant of proportionality can also be considered a(n)

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Unit rate

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when two variables are proportional, they vary by same constant known as the constant of proportionality.

i.e. If x and y are directly proportional, then we have the relation y = kx where k is any constant known as the constant of proportionality.

Now, as y = kx → $k=\frac{y}{x}$.

So, the value of k represents the quotient of y by x.

i.e. the value of k is represented by unit rate, which is the comparison of two quantities combined together.

Hence, the constant of proportionality can be referred as unit rate.
