you didn't give the options but constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

the constant of proportionality is k, so k=2

y= kx becomes y=2x

so y = 2x should be the answer

Answer:


y=2x

Explanation:

We are given that

The proportion constant=k=2

We know that

Direct proportion: When one quantity increases then other quantity is also increase.When one quantity decreases then other quantity is also decrease.

Mathematical representation:Let one quantity= x and second quantity=y


y\propto x


y=kx

Where k= Proportionality constant

Substitute the value of k


y=2x

This is required equation which shows proportional relationship.
