Question

The graph shows the relationship between the United States dollar and the euro, the currency of the European Union, in December 2011. Part A: What is the constant of proportionality shown in the graph? *

Answer 1

The graph is missing, so i have attached it;

Answer:

Constant of proportionality = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached, we are given 3 coordinate points of (x, y) namely;

(120, 90), (250, 187.5), (400, 300)

Now, constant of proportionality for each coordinate point is simply;

k = y/x

Thus, for first coordinate point (120, 90),

k1 = 90/120

k1 = 0.75

For 2nd coordinate point (250, 187.5),

k2 = 187.5/250

k2 = 0.75

For third coordinate point (400, 300),

k3 = 300/400

k3 = 0.75

From each of the 3 points, we can see the constant of proportionality is the same and equal to 0.75.
