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:
Model an explanation of the constant of proportionality for the first problem and ask the student to develop explanations for the two remaining problems. Give the student additional opportunities to identify the constant of proportionality in equations and explain their meaning in context.
