Question

The equation y = 3.25x can be used to determine the cost of purchasing x cans of chili. What is the constant of proportionality for this relationship?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.25 is your answer.

Answer 2

3.25

Explanation:

We are given an equation
`y=3.25x` and we are asked to find the constant of proportionality.

Since we know that directly proportional equations are in form of
`y=k*x`, where k is proportionality constant.

Upon comparing both equations we can see that value of k is 3.25 for our given equation. Therefore, constant of proportionality for our given equation will be 3.25.
