Back

k represents the constant of proportionality between y and x.

Front

How do you find the constant of proportionality from a table of values?

Back

Divide the value of y by the corresponding value of x for any pair of values.

Front

What is the relationship between proportionality and linear equations?

Back

In linear equations, the constant of proportionality is the slope of the line.
