Question

Find the constant (k) of proportionality in the table. What equation represents the table?
x=2,3,8,10
y=8,12,32,40

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we can choose two corresponding x and y values from the table and use them to find k.

Let's take x=2 and y=8:

k = y/x
k = 8/2
k = 4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality (k) is 4.

The equation representing the table is y = 4x.
