Answer:


\frac15

Explanation:

Hello!

The constant of proportionality is basically how much the graph rises for every change of 1 unit in x.

We can calculate the constant of proportionality by finding the change in y between 2 points divided by the change in x between two points.

The two points I'll pick are (0,0) and (5,1).

  • Change in y: 1 -0 = 1
  • Change in x: 5 - 0 = 5

Constant of proportionality:
\frac 15
