Question:
Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:
Pick any two corresponding x and y values


The constant of proportionality k is:




Solving (b): The equation
In (a), we have:

k can also be expressed as:

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

Cross multiply:

Open bracket

Add 10 to both sides


For this case, what we must do is find the scale factor.
We have then that the scale factor is given by:

Where,
L1: side length of polygon ABCD
L2: side length of polygon PQRS
Note: both sides belong to the same side of each polygon
Substituting the values we have:

Rewriting we have:
Answer:
The scale factor of dilation is given by:
To compare measurements of different units, it is necessary to convert one to the form of the other. Let us try to convert 85g to ounces using the following relation: 1g = 0.035274 oz
85g * (0.035274oz / 1g) = 2.99829 oz.
Therefore, 3 oz is heavier than 85 g.
