This graph shows a proportional relationship.

Mathematics

Alisiya [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, we get

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality

From the graph, it is clear that the point (2/5, 1/2) passes through the line which represents the direct relationship.

so we have the point (2/5, 1/2), and

x = 2/5

y = 1/2

so substituting x = 2/5 and y = 1/2 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [1/2] / [2/5]

k = [1 × 5 ] /  [2 × 2 ]

k = 5/4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

a linear function passes through the point (1,5)and (7,23)what are the rate of change and initial value?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The rate of change = 3

Initial value = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function has the form ⇒ y = mx + c

Where m is the slope or the rate of change, and c is y-intercept.

Given: A linear function passes through the point (1,5)and (7,23)

So, m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (23-5)/(7-1) = 18/6 = 3

So, y = 3x + c

By substitution with the point (1,5)

So, at x = 1 , y = 5

5 = 3*1 + c

c = 5 - 3 = 2

∴ y = 3x + 2

so, the rate of change = 3

And initial value = 2

initial value is the value at which x = 0 which is the y-intercept
