The total amount, a, in dollars, that Mitra earns is a = 14.6h, where h is the number of hours that she works. What is the constant of proportionality? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. I have an answer Im just sure :/

Respuesta :

14.6 is the constant because no matter how many hours she will work (that number could change) it will always be a linear growth of 14.6.

Answer:

Find out the what is the constant of proportionality .

To prove

As given

The total amount, a, in dollars, that Mitra earns is a = 14.6h .

The total amount in dollars is represented by a.

the number of hours that Mitra works by h .

As the total amount is depand upon the working hours.

Thus

[tex]a \propto h[/tex]

a = kh

Where k is the constant of proportionality .

Compare this with the equation a = kh with  a = 14.6h  .

k =14.6

Therefore 14.6  is the constant of proportionality .
