Question

Jesse drives to work. The distance jesses car travels (d) on a number of gallons of gas (g) is given by the equation d=15g. The constant proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas is A. 1/15 B. 15 C. 1 D.5

Answer 1

the constant of proportionality is also the slope
and in y = mx + b, the slope will be in the m position

d = 15g.....let d = y and g = x
y = 15x + 0.....so ur slope (constant of proportionality) is 15

Answer 2

a; d=15g is how many gallons per distance traveled so the reciprocal g=1/15 is how much distance was traveled per gallon of gas.
