There is a proportional relationship between the number of months a person has had a streaming movie subscription and the total amount of money they have paid for the subscription. The cost for 6 months is $47.94. What is the constant of proportionality in this relationship? What does the constant of proportionality tell us about the situation?

The constant of proportionality (k) is 7.99. This tells us that the subscription per month is $7.99.

Recall:

A proportional relationship is modelled with the equation, y = kx.

k is the constant of proportionality between y and x.

k = y/x

Given:

x = number of months (6)

y = total amount paid for subscription (47.94)

If 6 months subscription costs $47.94, therefore,

k = 47.94/6

k = 7.99

Constant of proportionality is therefore 7.99. This tells us that the subscription for per month is $7.99.

proportionality constant = 7.99

It means for every 1 month, the amount need to pay = $7.99 .

Step-by-step explanation:

When y is directly proportional to y , then the equation for this relationship is given by :-

,   (i)

where m is the proportionality constant.

here, it is given that number of months a person has had a streaming movie subscription  is proportional to the total amount of money they have paid for the subscription.

If cost for 6 months is $47.94.

Put x=  6 and y= 47.94  in (i), we get

47.94 =6m

Divide both sides by 6 , we get

7.99 =m

So proportionality constant = 7.99

It means for every 1 month, the amount need to pay = $7.99 .
