Answer:

2 is the constant of proportionality in the equation y = 2x .

Explanation:

Definition of constant of proportionality

When two variables are directly proportional to each others .

Let us assume that u and v .

u \propto vu∝v

Than the equation becomes u= kv

Where k is called the constant of proportionality .

Thus in the question x and y are proportional variables .

i.e

y \propto xy∝x

y = kx

Where k is called the constant of proportionality .

Compare the equation y = kx with y=2x .

Thus

k = 2

Therefore 2 is the constant of proportionality in the equation y = 2x

the explanation is not mine only the answer
