The constant of proportionality is k = 5</h3>
For direct proportion equations, you divide the y value over its corresponding x value to get the value of k.
For example, the point (x,y) = (2,10) is on the diagonal line. So k = y/x = 10/2 = 5.
Another example: the point (x,y) = (6, 30) is also on the same diagonal line, so k = y/x = 30/6 = 5 is the same result as before.
You can use any point on the diagonal line as long as it is not (0,0). This is because division by zero is not allowed.
side note: the direct proportion equation y = k*x becomes y = 5*x which is the graph of that diagonal line. The slope is m = 5, the y intercept is b = 0. All direct proportion graphs go through the origin as shown in the diagram.
tried to do it on text but It was pretty hard
$21.45 x 6 = $128.7
$128.7 + $10.60 = $139.3
Charlie will have saved $139.3 in 7 months
15. 16 yards. Add side a (2 yds.) and b (6 yds.), divide by 2 and then multiply by the height (4 yds.)
16. I believe it would be 48 m. find the area of each rectangle and then add it. (6x2)+(12x3) -> 12+36= 48 square meters.
Hope it helps! -cat
