5 is the proportionality constant in the given equation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of proportion

Direct proportion
Indirect Proportion

In direct proportion, the increase or decrease in one quantity also cause increase or decrease in other quantity.

IT can be mathematically written as:

y∝x

When the proportionality symbol is removed, proportionality constant is introduced

y=kx

Here k is the proportionality constant

If we compare the general form with the given equation y=5x

Then we can see that k=5

Hence,

5 is the proportionality constant in the given equation

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/2x + 3 and passes through the point (10, -5).

o-na [289]

Answer:

Option A) y = -2x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The equation of the given line is

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3$

The slope of the given line is $m=\frac{1}{2}$

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is

$m=-2$

step 2

Find the equation of the perpendicular line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-2$

$point\ (10,-5)$

substitute

$y+5=-2(x-10)$ ---> equation in point slope form

Convert to slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

$y+5=-2x+20$

$y=-2x+20-5$

$y=-2x+15$
