What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y=2.5xy=2.5xy, equals, 2, point, 5, x?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The constant of proportionality in the given equation is, 2.5Step-by-step explanation:The direct proportionality states that:[tex]y \propto x[/tex] then the equation is in the form of:[tex]y=kx[/tex] .........[1] ; where, k is the constant of proportionalityGiven the equation:[tex]y=2.5x[/tex]On comparing equation [1] we have;[tex]k = 2.5[/tex]Therefore, the constant of proportionality in the given equation is, 2.5
