Wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct myself.
In the direct variation equation y = 34x, the constant of proportionality is 34.
In the direct variation equation y = 34x, the constant of proportionality is 34.
A group of hikers is packing trail mix. The direct variation equation y=3/4x shows the relationship between number of hikers, x , and number of cups of trail mix, y . What is the constant of proportionality in this situation?
In the direct variation equation y = (3/4)x, the constant of proportionality is 3/4.
No.
I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct myself.
In the direct variation equation y = (3/4)x, the constant of proportionality is 3/4.
In the direct variation equation y = (3/4)x, the constant of proportionality is 3/4.
