Question

twista is a rap artist who once held the world record for the fastest rap. the equation 598x = 55y can be used to model the number of syllables he could rap, y, in x seconds. what is the constant of proportionality, k, expressed as a fraction when the equation is transformed into the form y = kx?

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate y

We start with the equation $598x = 55y$. To transform it into the form $y=kx$, we divide both sides of the equation by 55. So, $y=\frac{598}{55}x$.

Answer:

$\frac{598}{55}$
