If the cost (y) is directly proportional to the weight (x) with k = 2, what is the equation?

Back

y = 2x

Front

Identify the constant of proportionality in the equation y = 8x.

Back

k = 8

Front

What does it mean if two quantities are proportional?

Back

Two quantities are proportional if they maintain a constant ratio, meaning as one quantity increases, the other increases at a consistent rate.

Front

If y = 1/4 x, what is the constant of proportionality?

Back

k = 1/4

Front
