The constant of proportionality in the equation \( y = 8x \) is the coefficient of \( x \), which is 8. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 8 times that amount. Therefore, the constant of proportionality is \( 8 \).
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
to show the relationship between x
and y
. What is the constant of proportionality?(1 point)
