Question

this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. part a greg swims at a steady rate of 8 miles per hour. determine the constant of proportionality.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall proportional - relationship formula

In a proportional relationship $y = kx$, $k$ is the constant of proportionality. Here, if $y$ represents the distance in miles and $x$ represents the time in hours, and the speed is the constant of proportionality.

Step2: Identify the value of the constant

Greg's speed is 8 miles per hour. So the constant of proportionality $k = 8$.

Answer:

8
