Constant of proportionality

We know that the constant of proportionality shows us how much is the change of a variable in relation to the change of another variable.

In this case we want to see how much y changes when x change. In order to find it out we just have to divide them:


(y)/(x)

We have that the line cross the point (10, 55) from the origin (0, 0). Since (x, y), the change of x is 10 and the change of y is 55. Using the division, we have that:


(55)/(10)=5.5

is the constant of proportionality of this line.

Answer - A: 5.5
