Final answer:

(d)
\( Y = 33x \) expresses the relationship with
\( k = 33 \) as the constant of proportionality.

Explanation:

To determine the constant of proportionality
(\(k\)) for the table, we need to find the relationship between the variables
\(x\) and
\(y\) and express it in the form
\(y = kx\).

Without the actual table data, it's not possible to calculate the exact constant of proportionality, but I can guide you through the process. Let's assume that your table has data points
\((x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \ldots\).

The general formula for the constant of proportionality is
\(k = (y)/(x)\). You can use any pair of corresponding values from your table to calculate
\(k\).

For example, if you choose a specific pair
\((x_1, y_1)\), the equation would be:


\[k = (y_1)/(x_1)\]

Once you have the calculated
\(k\), you can express the relationship between
\(x\) and
\(y\) as
\(y = kx\).

So, in terms of the given options:

(a)
\(X = 33y\) is not the correct form; it's expressing
\(x\) in terms of
\(y\).

(b)
\(33k\) is not the correct form; it's just a constant multiplied by
\(k\).

(c)
\(Y = 0.003\) is not the correct form; it's a constant value and doesn't represent the relationship between
\(x\) and
\(y\).

(d)
\(Y = 33x\) is the correct form if
\(k = 33\), as it expresses
\(y\) in terms of
\(x\).

However, the actual value of
\(k\) depends on your specific data points from the table.
