Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 4.5

Explanation:

To demonstrate the constant of proportionality, we typically use variable k. The equation can look like y/x=k or y=kx
y/x=k
9/2= 4.5

The constant of proportionality is 4.5.

To check the work, we can use the other equation, y=kx.

y=kx

y=4.5(2)

y= 9
