Question

Determine if the graph shows two quantities that vary directly. If possible, determine the constant of proportionality using the formula K = y/x

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find k constant of proportionality

In the graph below let us take the values of x and y

x=150 , y=50

x=300, y=100

x=450, y=150

Now finding k using the formula: $k=\frac{y}{x}$

Putting values of x and y to find k

For x=150 , y=50 k = 50/150, k =1/3

For x=300, y=100 , k=100/300 , k=1/3

For x=450, y=150, k= 150/450 , k=1/3

Since for values of x and y, k = 1/3 is constant so, the graph shows two quantities that vary directly.

So, Option C is correct option.
