The constant of proportionality in the equation \( y = 32x \) is 32. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 32 times that unit.
Kevin is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 32 times the value of x. Kevin writes the equation y=32x to show the relationship between x and y. What is the constant of proportionality?(1 point)
The constant of proportionality is ___
3 answers
So the answer is y = 32x ?
No, the equation \( y = 32x \) shows the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \), but the constant of proportionality specifically refers to the constant factor that relates \( y \) to \( x \), which in this case is 32.
So, the answer to your question about the constant of proportionality is 32.
