Hello I'm Chloe Can you Help me, Thank you :)

y varies proportionally with x. When x = 2, y = 18.
What is the constant of proportionality for this relationship?

Answer:

The constant of proportionality k is given by k=y/x where y and x are two quantities that are directly proportional to each other. Once you know the constant of proportionality you can find an equation representing the directly proportional relationship between x and y, namely y=kx, with your specific k.
