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.
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.
In a direct proportion y kx the number k is called the constant of .?
It is the constant of proportionality.
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 a constant ratio of two variables related proportionally?
The constant of proportionality pi = 3.141592.... is a constant of proportionality for all circles. 'C' is directly proportional to 'd' Equating C = kd k = C/d This is found to be true for all circles, however, large or small. The 'C' and 'd' are the variables.
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.
