In a direct variation equation of the form y = kx, the constant of proportionality (or the constant of variation) is represented by "k". In this case, the direct variation equation is y = 2 2/3x.
To find the constant of proportionality, we can convert the mixed number 2 2/3 to an improper fraction.
2 2/3 = (2 * 3 + 2)/3 = 8/3
Therefore, the constant of proportionality in the equation is 8/3.
For the direct variation equation y=2 2/3x, what is the constant of the proportionally?
