Question

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Number of Apples with entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Column 2 is labeled Number of Slices with entries 0, 6, 12, 18, 24.
Use the table to find the constant of proportionality and the equation that represents the relationship.

Let x = number of apples and y = number of slices.

The constant of proportionality is
.
The equation for this relationship is

Answer 1

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 6. This makes the relation y = 6x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: As the number of apples are increasing, the number of slices are also increasing. Given that x is the number of apples and y is the number of slices. This means that y is directly proportional to x.

y ∝ x

Let the constant of proportionality be k.

y = kx

For x = 1, y = 6. So, k = 6.

For x = 2, y = 12. So, k = 6.

This follows for all the values.

Clearly, the constant of proportionality is 6.

The relationship will become y = 6x.
