Find the constant of proportionality.

Mathematics

Answer as a fraction =  4/3

Answer in decimal form = 1.33 approximately

===================================================

Explanation:

x = number of days

y = number of inches

For instance, on day x = 3, we have y = 4 inches of flood water. This is shown by the point (x,y) = (3,4) on the diagonal line.

Divide y over x to get the value of k, which is the constant of proportionality.

k = y/x

k = 4/3

k = 1.33 which is approximate

You could also pick a point like (x,y)  = (6,8) to find that

k = y/x

k = 8/6

k = 4/3

k = 1.33

Which is the same as earlier.

We can pick any point on the diagonal line as long as it's not the origin point (0,0).

The equation of this direct variation line is y = (4/3)x. It has a slope of 4/3 and a y intercept of 0. The slope of 4/3 means that each time we move up 4 on the y axis, we move to the right 3 units on the x axis.

In short, slope = rise/run = 4/3. So rise = 4 and run = 3.

For any direct variation linear equation, the slope and constant of proportionality are the same thing.

Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

Side\ 1 = 10

Side\ 2 = 14

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2

This gives

x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2

x^2 = 100 + 196

x^2 = 296

Take square root

x = \sqrt{296

x = 17.2in

If y varies directly with x, and y is 14 when x is 2, what is the value of x when y is 35?

Im pretty sure it's 17.5 since 35 is odd.
