k is a constant. It is called the âconstant of proportionality , or âconstant of variationâ. Both terms mean the same thing. The terms are interchangeable. The constant of proportionality means that DIVIDING the DISTANCE by the TIME is a CONSTANT value (k, the constant of variation). To solve for k, divide each side of the equation by the variable time:
Total Price (y) 20 40 60 80 100 Total Pound (x) 2 4 6 8 10 Ratio (K) 1:10 (for all) The ratio is constant (k = 10), so the relationship can be described by the equation y = 10 x. This equation means that the total number of price is always 10 times the number of pound. So the constant of proportionality is 10.
