The equation y=7.6x represents a proportional relationship what is the constant of proportionality?

A. 1/7.6

B. 7.6

C. x

D. y

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B. 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

where

k is the constant of proportionality

The slope of the linear equation is the same that the constant of proportionality

In this problem we have

[tex]y=7.6x[/tex]

so

the slope is [tex]m=7.6[/tex]

therefore

The constant of proportionality k is [tex]k=7.6[/tex]
