To find the constant of proportionality, you need to determine the speed of the car. The speed can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 200 miles and the time is 4 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{200 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 50 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
So, the constant of proportionality, which represents the speed of the car, is **50 miles per hour**.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 200 miles and the time is 4 hours.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{200 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 50 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
So, the constant of proportionality, which represents the speed of the car, is **50 miles per hour**.
