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 answer

In the equation \( y = 32x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \), which is 32. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 32 units, indicating a direct proportional relationship between \( y \) and \( x \). Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 32.
