y=kx and y=
are two equations of constant of proportionality
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two equations for the constant of proportionality. That is
(i) Direct proportion
(ii) Inverse proportion
In direct proportion y=kx, Now
if x increases, then y also increases and if x decreases, then y also decreases. So, k is a constant proportionality.
In Inverse proportion y=
, Now
if x increases then y decreases and if x decreases, then y increases and k is a constant proportionality.
In direct proportion, we put y=1 and x=2, So k=
.
So, the equations y=kx and y=
are two equations of constant of proportionality.
Answer:
1000 times
First, we estimated the Sun's width in terms of the Earth's breadth, then the Star's width in terms of the Earth's breadth, and for comparison, we did simple division, which revealed that the Star KW Sagittarii is 1000 times wider than the Sun.
