Answer:

Constant of proportionality,

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality states that the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y,

it is written in the form of y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given the equation: .....[1]

where r is the constant of proportionality.

From the table we consider

x = 14 and y = 1.4

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for r;

Divide both sides by 14 we get;

therefore, the Constant of proportionality,
