I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.
So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.
Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'
y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5
Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)
Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs. Make a table of these and you have your answer.
EXAMPLE -
-= x =- -= y =-
-= 1 =- -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =- -= 8 =-
-= 3 =- -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =- -= 13 =-
So there you have it. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
10 weeks
Duane adds $5 every other week so that's 5 weeks out of 10. 5 x 5 = 25
Mick adds $2 every week so,
2 x 10 = 20
25 + 20 = 45
-4 > -5, -4 is > or equal to 5
The answer is the THIRD option "C"
