You have the following equation:

y = 1/2 x

In order to determine what is the constant of proportionality, consider the general fom of proportional relatioship, given by:

y = kx

by comparing the previous equation with y=1/2x, you can notice that k=1/2. Then, the constant of proportionality is k = 1/2

A. 1/2
