Question

What is the constant of this proportionality for 1 4, 2 8, 3 12, 4,16

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is found by starting with y = kx, then finding k.

We can just use one point (such as the first one, (1,4) ) and substitute these values of x and y into the equation  y = kx, to get:

4 = k x1

k = 4.

So y = 4x

(we can also check that all the other points also satisfy this equation - which they do, as each y value is 4 times the corresponding x value)
