Sentences can also include community service, no animal ownership for 3 years, and restitution.
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:
We can equivalently write  y is proportional to 1/ x , which y = c/x would represent. If a linear function transforms 0, a and b into 0, c and d, and if the product a b c d is not zero, we say a and b are proportional to c and d. An equality of two ratios such as, where no term is zero, is called a proportion. The force acting on a certain object due to gravity is directly proportional to the object's mass; the constant of proportionality between the mass and the force is known as gravitational acceleration.
