Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=ky/x=k or y=kxy=kx

The value of the constant k is equal to the value of the slope

In this problem we have

y=5xy=5x ------> is a linear direct variation

The slope is m=5m=5

therefore

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5
