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
