Answer:

The constant of proportionality in the equation is 7.

Explanation:

Given : The equation
y=7x

To find : What is the constant of proportionality in the equation ?

Solution :

The general form of constant of proportionality is

$y\propto x$

y=kx

where, k is the constant of proportionality.

On comparison with general form,

y=7x

here, k=7

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in the equation is 7.
