Question

The quantities x and y are proportional find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx 8 1.6 15 3 22 4.4

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = rx ( divide both sides by x )

$\frac{y}{x}$ = r

Use any of the ordered pairs from the table and substitute

Using (8, 1. 6 ) , then

r = $\frac{1.6}{8}$ = 0.2
