Find the constant of proportions k as a fraction in simplest form The enter an equation for the relation ships between x and yThe constant of proportions k is e class=

Respuesta :

Notice that for every 6 units increment in the x-values in the table, there is a 2 units increment in the y-values.

Therefore, the constant of proportions is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{6}\rightarrow\frac{1}{3} \\ k=\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find the equation, we'll use this constant as the slope. Using this, point

(6, 2) of the table and the slope-point form:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-2=\frac{1}{3}(x-6) \\ \rightarrow y-2=\frac{1}{3}x-2 \\ \rightarrow y=\frac{1}{3}x \end{gathered}[/tex]

This way the equation is:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]
