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.

How do you find constant in math?

The answer depends on what the constant is: the y-intercept in a linear graph, constant of proportionality, constant of integration, physical [universal] constant.


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.


What does a direct proportion look like on a graph?

A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.


How can one determine the phase constant from a graph?

To determine the phase constant from a graph, identify the horizontal shift of the graph compared to the original function. The phase constant is the amount the graph is shifted horizontally.

x = constant.


Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?

Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.

Any equation where variable a = some multiple of variable b2 + constant will graph a parabola.


When y varies directly as x what is true of the variables x and y?

y = cx where c is some non-zero constant of proportionality. Equivalently, x = ky where k (= 1/c) is a constant of proportionality. The graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin, with slope c.


What is a non example of a constant of proportionality?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! A non-example of a constant of proportionality would be a relationship where the ratio between two quantities is not always the same. Imagine a situation where the more you paint, the less paint you use each time - that would not have a constant of proportionality. Just like in painting, it's all about finding balance and harmony in the relationships around us.
