The constant of proportionality that relates the distance traveled to the elapsed time represented by this data will be 6.
<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
Eric conducted an experiment in his science class and recorded the data in a table.
Eric’s science experiment, time (seconds), 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, distance (ft), 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108.
Let x be the time and y be the distance.
Let the distance and time be linear to each other. Then the linear equation is given as
y - 36 = [(36 - 18) / (6 - 3)] (x - 6)
y - 36 = 6 (x - 6)
y = 36 + 6x - 36
y = 6x
Then the constant of proportionality that relates the distance traveled to the elapsed time represented by this data will be 6.
