Donte is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 8 times the value of x . Donte writes the equation y=8x

Question

to show the relationship between x and y . What is the constant of proportionality?(1 point)
The constant of proportionality is___

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality in the equation \( y = 8x \) is the factor by which \( x \) is multiplied to get \( y \). In this case, since \( y \) is always 8 times \( x \), the constant of proportionality is \( 8 \).

So, the constant of proportionality is 8.
