Find the constant of proportionality.

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]2 years ago

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.

A railroad track rises 30 feet for every 400 feet of track. What is the measure of the angle of elevation of the track?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rising 30 feet for every 400 feet of track is not a very large angle of elevation.  We set this up as a right triangle to use right triangle trig to solve for the missing angle.  The height is 30 and the hypotenuse is 400.  The height is the side opposite the angle in question, and the hypotenuse is the hypotenuse! This is the sin ratio.  Setting up the ratio using our info:

sin\theta=\frac{30}{400}

When you are looking for a missing angle measure, as we are here, use the 2nd-->sin buttons to find the inverse of sin, which looks like this:

sin^{-1}(

Enter in the fraction 30/400 after the parenthesis and then hit enter to get the angle measure of 4.3 degrees.
