Question

The equation y = kx represents a proportional relationship between x and y, where k is the constant of proportionality. For a moving object, the equation d = st represents a proportional relationship between distance (d) and speed (s) or between distance (d) and time (t). Explain the different ways that you can define the constant of proportionality for this equation. Then describe some other equations that represent proportional relationships in the real world and explain why they’re useful

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for this equation

  d=st

we can represent s as d/t

we can represent t as d/s

and in real world we have a lot of this type of equations

some of them are,

 d=m/v  ( density = mass / volume )

 C = m.c  ( heat capacity = mass x specific heat )
