y=kx and y=[tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] are two equations of constant of proportionality
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two equations for the constant of proportionality. That is
(i) Direct proportion
(ii) Inverse proportion
In direct proportion y=kx, Now
if x increases, then y also increases and if x decreases, then y also decreases. So, k is a constant proportionality.
In Inverse proportion y=[tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex], Now
if x increases then y decreases and if x decreases, then y increases and k is a constant proportionality.
In direct proportion, we put y=1 and x=2, So k=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
So, the equations y=kx and y=[tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] are two equations of constant of proportionality.
