Question

Question 1: What is the constant of proportionality, k, in the equationy=5x? *

Answer 1

Given:

y = 5x

The constant of proportionality can be said to be the ratio between the two proportional quantities y and x.

The equation can be written as:

y = kx

where k is the constant

Therefore,

y = 5x

The constant of proportionality here is 5.

ANSWER:

5
