If m varies directly as p, and m=5 when p=7, what is the constant of variation?

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

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
