Answer:

The constant of proportionality k is 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given y=\frac{3}{8}x which describes a proportional relationship between x and y. We need to define constant of proportionality

If y ∝ x then

y=kx where k is constant of proportionality.

Comparing the given y=\frac{3}{8}x with y=kx, we can find value of k i.e constant of proportionality.

So, k= 3/8

Hence, The constant of proportionality k is 3/8

Greg is designing a clock face. Using the center of the clock face as the origin, he keeps its diameter at 10 units. Match the p
Nat2105 [25]

The center of the clock is taken as the origin.The clock is a circle with a diameter 10 units.Radius is half the diameter .Radius = 10 ÷2= 5 units.

The clock is divided in four quadrants .On x axis y=0 and on y axis x=0.

When it is  12 o'clock the hour hand is on positive of y axis.Coordinates of the point at 12 o'clock=(0,5)

When it is 3 o 'clock the hour hand is on positive of x axis .Coordinate of the point at 3o'clock is (5,0)

When it is 6 o'clock the hour hand is on negative of y axis .The coordinates of the point at 6o'clock is (0,-5)

At 9o'clock the hour hand is on negative of x axis .The coordinate of the point at 6o'clock is(-5,0)
