a proportional relationship is represented by the equation 2x=18y . If y=x , where k is the constant of proportionality, then what is the value of k.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\bold{k=\dfrac{1}{9}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is y = kx.  Solve the given equation for "y" to find k-value in front of "x".

    18y = 2x

   [tex]\dfrac{18y}{18}=\dfrac{2x}{18}[/tex]

    [tex]y=\dfrac{1}{9}x[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
