For this case we have that by definition, two magnitudes are directly proportional when there is a constant such that:
[tex]y = kx[/tex]
Where:
k: It is the constant of proportionality
We must find the value of "k" when [tex](x, y): (- 3,2)[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac {y} {x} = \frac {2} {- 3} = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]k = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]k=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the constant of variation, [tex] k [/tex], of the direct variation, [tex] y = k x [/tex] given the coordinates of the point [tex] ( - 3 , 2 ) [/tex].
Direct variation is represented by:
[tex] y = k x [/tex]
where [tex] k [/tex] is the constant of variation.
Substituting the coordinates of the given point to find the value of [tex] k [/tex].
[tex] 2 = k (-3) [/tex]
[tex]k=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
