Question

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation
y = 7x?

Answer 1

the constant of proportionality is 7

Answer 2

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.
