The equation below describes a proportional relationship between x and y. What is the constant of? proportionality? y equals three sevenths x

Respuesta :

Answer:

The given equation is

          y =[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] x

→ [tex]\frac{y}{x} = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

reciprocating both sides, we get

→ [tex]\frac{x}{y}  =  \frac{7}{3}[/tex] ............(1)  

→ Here x and y are Directly proportional to each other.

which means ,

→ x =  k y , where k is constant of proportionality.

Or , [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex] = k  ............................(2)

Equating (1) and (2),

k = [tex]\frac {7}{3}[/tex]
