Does a constant of proportionality exist?
Yes, it does. Every time there are variables in direct or inverse relationship, there is a constant of proportionality.
Does inverse and indirect variation mean the same thing?
Y=k/x where k is the constant of proportionality is an example of indirect or inverse variation. They are the same thing.
Can you find the constant of proportionality when given a certain situation?
If the variables are in direct or inverse proportion then yes; otherwise no.
Is the line automatically nonproportional if it doesnt pass through the origin'?
No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
What are the characteristics of inverse proportionality relationship?
If the product of two variables is equal to a constant, then they are inversely proportional. eg. If xy=c where c is a constant, then x and y are inversely proportional.
Does a constant of proportionality exist?
Yes, it does. Every time there are variables in direct or inverse relationship, there is a constant of proportionality.
What is the definition of Inverse Proportionality?
y is inversely proportional to x if it is proportional to 1/x.
What are the 4 kinds of proportionality in physics?
Direct Proportion Inverse Proportion Direct square Proportion Inverse Square Proportion Hope it helps :)
What is the constant of portionality?
If two variables are directly proportional to one another then the constant of proportionality is the ratio of their values. If they are in inverse proportion then the constant of proportionality is the product of their values.

Relationship between variables in direct proportionality and inverse proportionality?
Variables X and Y are in direct proportion is Y = c*X for some constant c (not zero). Then X increases whenever Y increases and conversely. Y increases by c times the increase in X. Variables X and Y are in inverse proportion is X*Y = k for some constant k (not zero). Then X increases whenevr Y decreases and conversely.
What are the characteristics of proportional relationships?
Direct proportions may be represented by a straight line through the origin, with the equation y = kx. The gradient of the line is the constant of proportionality and is a measure of the change in the "dependent" variable for a unit change in the "independent" variable. In the case of an inverse proportionality, the graph is a hyperbola with the equation y = k/x. The constant of proportionality, k, is a measure of the change in the reciprocal of the "dependent" variable for a unit change in the "independent" variable.
In inverse proportion x equals 2 and y equals 36 but what will y be when x equals 4?
Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
What is the proportionality constant?
The constant of proportionality for y = 0.95x is 0.95
