Apologies for the incorrect response.

To find the constant of proportionality in the direct variation equation y = 34x, we can compare it to the standard form of a direct variation equation y = kx, where k represents the constant of proportionality.

In this case, the constant of proportionality is 34, as it is the coefficient of x in the equation y = 34x.

Apologies for the repeated incorrect response.

In the direct variation equation y = 34x, the constant of proportionality is 34. The coefficient of x in the equation represents the constant of proportionality, which indicates that for every increase in the number of hikers by 1, the number of cups of trail mix will increase by 34.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in this situation is 34.
