The equation y = 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. Explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional from the graph of the equation, and how you can find the constant of proportionality.

Respuesta :

If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.

Answer:

When you graph the equation, you get a straight line that passes through the origin, which means the relationship is proportional. The constant of proportionality is the y-value when x = 1, which is 1/5.
