Answer:
Proportionality constant = ![\frac{1}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph attached,
Data set representing the relation between seeing lightning and the hearing thunder is,
{(15, 3), (25, 5), (35, 7), (45, 9)}
Since, Distance from lightening (d) ∝ Time between lightening and thunder (t)
d = kt
Here k = proportionality constant
k = ![\frac{d}{t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bt%7D)
From the data set one point is (15, 3).
k = ![\frac{3}{15}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B15%7D)
k =
miles per second
Therefore, proportionality constant is
miles per second.
