Question

I do not understand how proportionality works

Answer 1

3.5

Explanation:

In this problem, the line's constant of proportionality is the same as its slope.

Slope is defined as rise / run (also notated as change in y / change in x).

Using the given point, we can deduce that the line's rise (change in y) is 3.5, and its run (change in x) is 1. Putting these values into the slope formula:

3.5 / 1 = 3.5

So, the constant of proportionality of this line is 3.5.
