For every $50.00, Michael earns, he saves $5.. for the future. what is the constant of proportionality (k)?

Respuesta :

Constant of proportionality is given by: y=kx oy [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

So lets suppose y = 50 and x = 5 so k will be [tex]\frac{50}{5}=10[/tex]

This 10 will remain constant. For every $50 Michael saves $5, for $100 he will save  $10 , for $150 he will save $15 and so on.

So this 'k' will be same for each value of x and y.
