When the ratio of variations in the related variables is constant, it is called
Answers
The value of this constant is called the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant. If the ratio (yx) of two variables (x and y) is equal to a constant (c = yx), then the variable in the numerator of the ratio (y) is the product of the other variable and the constant (y = c⋅x).
The constant of proportionality
The type of proportion between both the two specified quantities determines the value of the proportionality constant.
In mathematics, we employ the constant of proportionality to measure the cost of change while also determining whether we are dealing with direct or inverse variation.
To determine whether the two quantities are proportional, we must calculate the ratio of the two variables for each of the given values. They have a proportionate relationship if their ratio are equivalent. The relationship between the ratios is not proportional if they are not all equal.
