Answer:

  1. the contant of proportionality is 2
  2. y = 3x

Explanation:

1. Match the given equation (y = 2x) to the pattern ...

y = kx . . . . . k is the constant of proportionality

Hopefully, you can see that k corresponds to 2. That is, the coefficient of x is the constant of proportionality. It is 2.

2. Since you're studying proportions, it is useful to look at the ratio of the y-value to the x-value. In each case, it is 6/2 = 9/3 = 15/5 = 3. Then the graph shows the variables are proportional, with a constant of proportionality of 3.

y = 3x
