Lisa loves to walk her dog, Stanley. She walks him 3 miles in 2 hours. Explain what the constant of proportionality means in the context of the problem.

  example you can find the perimeter by addig all of its respective sides as such: (12+x)+(12+x)+(7+y)+(7+y).  adding like terms will result in   2x+2y+38    if you chose  xy+7x+12y+84, you multiplied the two sides to find the area.  if you chose  x+y+19
