Question

Direct Variation, Constant of Proportionality, and Constant Rate of Change all represent linear proportional relationships.

In the equation LaTeX: y=kx what does each variable represent.

Answer 1

y = dependent variable

k = constant of proportionality or constant rate of change

x = independent variable

Explanation:

The equation,
`y = mx` represents a direct variation showing a proportional relationship between variable y and variable x.

y represents the dependent variable

k represents the constant of proportionality or constant rate of change

x represents the independent variable
