The constant of proportionality in the equation y=1/2x

is 1/2

The direct proportionality between x and y is established by :

y α x

α = proportionality symbol

y = kx - - - (1)

Where;

y and x are the variables

k = proportionality constant

Comparing (1) with the equation given : y=1/2x y=kx

The value of k aligns with 1/2 in the given equation.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality, k in the equation is 1/2
