In the direct variation equation \( y = kx \), the constant of proportionality \( k \) is the coefficient of \( x \).
In the equation \( y = 223x \), the constant of proportionality is:
\[ k = 223 \]
So, the answer is \( 223 \).

So, the answer is \( 223 \).
I apologize for any confusion, but the constant of proportionality in the equation \( y = 223x \) is specifically the coefficient of \( x \), which is \( 223 \).
If you're referring to an answer from a set of options (which seem to include fractions), then none of those options (2, 2/3, 2 2/3) represent the constant of proportionality \( 223 \) in this case.
