y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
0
y = kx, where k is a constant, and x and y are the two variables.
In algebra variables express a relationship within an equation and these are often used to give meaningful expressions to represent practical situations. These relationships often require a constant to be included in order to balance the equation turning the relationship from one of proportionality to one of equality. The variables themselves are only constant for a given set of conditions. i.e The voltage across a resistance of 60 ohms carrying a current of 4 amps will be 240v. (V= current x resistance). A separate constant is not needed in this case as the resistance is defined by the other two properties. In science one example of a constant that is thought to be variable is the speed of light, which for all practical purposes is considered to be constant but is thought to have changed gradually with time. I don't know what possible ways there are of verifying this.
For a direct variation equation the constant MUST be 0. Then the ratio of a pair of values of the two variables is the slope.
If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
y = c*x3 where c is the constant of proportionality.
In a table, divide a number in one column by the corresponding number in the other column. In a graph it is the gradient of the line. The equation, for the variables X and Y will be of the form Y = mX and the constant of proportionality is m.
answer: 2.5 :)
directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature
Constant variables are constant, they do not change. Derived variables are not constant. They are determined by the other values in the equation.
The equation states that energy is directly proportional to mass and that the constant of proportionality is equal to the square of the velocity of light (in vacuum).
y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
y=x^2 * k k=constant of proportionality OR y/x^2 = k
y = kx where k is a non-zero constant is an equation of direct proportionality between x and y.
The linear function has the form y=mx+b, which I expect you have heard of. The 'b' is the y-intercept, and the 'm' is the slope. A constant of proportionality is something you have with direct variation, which is where the line goes through (0,0). This happens when 'b' equals zero. So now the equation is just y=mx, and the constant of proportionality is 'm'.
It is the speed, which must be maintained at a constant value.
