The German word konstant
If something called F is proportional to xyz, then you could write F=kxyz. Which means that however much x, y or z change there is a value, labelled "k", unknown, that always stays the same. And if you know one set of values of F,x,y and z then you can work out what k is.

If y equals kx then what is the relationship between x y and k?
Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
In a direct proportion y kx the number k is called the constant of .?
It is the constant of proportionality.
What does k mean in math?
It depends on the context. It can mean 1000 (as in kilo). It can represent a constant, specially a constant of proportionality. It can represent a unit vector in the third mutually perpendicular direction (the z-axis). It is often used as an index (often after i and j).
What is the linear equation used to represent a proportion?
y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
If y 75 when k15 (constant of proportionality) what is x?
When there is a direct proportionality y = kx y = 75 k = 15 → 75 = 15x → x = 75/15 = 5
If y equals kx then what is the relationship between x y and k?
Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
How do you find constant of proportionality using equation?
If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
What does constant of proportionality represent?
The constant of proportionality is the ration that relates two given values in what is known as a proportinal relationship. Other names for the constant of proportionality include the constant ratio, constant rate, unit rate, constant variation, or even the rate of change.

What is the constant of proportionality?
The constant of proportionality for y = 0.95x is 0.95
How do you find the constant of proportionality?

If Abcd efgh are similar find the length of eh?
It is k times the length of Ad where k is the constant of proportionality between the two shapes.
If y 75 when k15 (constant of proportionality) what is x?
When there is a direct proportionality y = kx y = 75 k = 15 → 75 = 15x → x = 75/15 = 5
