2 Hiroaki says that a constant of proportionality must be a whole number and cannot be a fraction or a decimal. Explain why Hiroaki is incorrect.

Given:

Hiroaki says that a constant of proportionality must be a whole number and  cannot be a fraction or a decimal.

To find:

The explanation, why Hiroaki is incorrect.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

where, k is the constant of proportionality.

It means, the constant of proportionality is the ratio of two directly proportional variables.

So, constant of proportionality can be any real.

Thus, the statement that a constant of proportionality must be a whole number and  cannot be a fraction or a decimal is incorrect.

Hence, Hiroaki is incorrect because constant of proportionality can be any real.

black lol

step-by-step explanation:

h

i can tell you jamal now has 3 cookies xd

tommy has 2.

this made me lol.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
