Question 1092615: For a wall of a given material and of a fixed surface area, the rate of heat loss by conduction through the wall is inversely proportional to the thickness (T) of the wall, and directly proportional to the temperature difference (d) across the wall. The rate of heat loss could be given by which of the following expressions?
This was a SAT question but however I didn't understand the explanation for it.

The description is of variation. Follow the description exactly to build the described expression.

k, the variation constant
T and d as described
