Question

Find the constant (k) of proportionality in the table . what equation represents the table
table:
|x |2 | 3 |8 |10|
|y |8 | 12 |32 |40|

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality (k), we need to choose two points from the table to calculate it. Let's choose the points (2, 8) and (8, 32).

k = y / x = 8 / 2 = 4

Now that we have calculated k to be 4, we can see that the equation that represents the table is:

y = 4x
