Step 1
This means that the relationship between y and x can be represented by the equation y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Show more…

Express the statement as an equation. (Use k as the constant of proportionality.) t is proportional to the product x and y and inversely proportional to r. Use the given information to find the constant of proportionality: If x = 4, y = 5, and r = 40, then t = 42. k = 2.1
