You can basically use any letter for a constant. "c" is often used because it's the first letter of "constant"; the use of "k" probably arises either from the fact that it has the same sound, in English, as "k"; or from other languages where the word "constant" is written with a "k" (e.g., "Konstante" in German).

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.
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
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.
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.
In a direct proportion y kx the number k is called the constant of .?
It is the constant of proportionality.
What is a constant K formula?
A formula involving a constant K typically represents a relationship where K is a fixed value, such as a proportionality constant or a parameter in an equation. The formula may use K to scale or modify the output based on the specific context or condition in which it is applied.
What is the proportionality constant?
The constant of proportionality for y = 0.95x is 0.95
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?
K=Constant of proportionalityF=Force measured in N∆L= Total lengthK=F/∆L
What is the constant proportionality of y0.95x?
The constant of proportionality for y = 0.95x is 0.95
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
P varies directly as q and inversely as r?
P=q/r* * * * *The correct answer is P = k*q/r where k is the constant of proportionality.
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.
