Question

What is the constant of proportionality

Answer 1

it is ratio of the amount s y and x:k = y/x. put another way: y = Kx.

Example:- you are paid 20 rupaye an hour the constant of proportionality is 20

because pay = 20 hours worked

Answer 2

The equation for constant of proportionality is:

y = kx

K = Constant of proportionality

An example:

4y = 8x

=> 4y/4 = 8x/4

=> y = 2x

In the answer, y = 2x; 2 is the constant of proportionality
