For direct relations, we can write:
m = kp; k is the constant of proportionality.
5 = 7k
k = 5/7
The constant of variation is 5/7.
m = kp; k is the constant of proportionality.
5 = 7k
k = 5/7
The constant of variation is 5/7.
Answer:
the constant of variation, k= 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
if m varies directly as p, and m=5 when p=7, what is the constant of variation
m varies directly as p, so equation becomes
m = kp , where k is the constant of proportionality
m=5 when p=7, we need to find out k
Plug in the given values and find out k
m=k * p
5= k * 7
Divide by 7 on both sides
so k= 5/7
