1 answer

To determine the constant of proportionality from the given points (6, 82.80) and (2, 27.60), we can use the formula for the constant of proportionality, which is calculated as:

\[ k = \frac{y}{x} \]

where \(y\) is the output value and \(x\) is the input value.

Let's calculate the constant of proportionality for both points:

  1. For the point (6, 82.80): \[ k_1 = \frac{82.80}{6} = 13.80 \]

  2. For the point (2, 27.60): \[ k_2 = \frac{27.60}{2} = 13.80 \]

Since both calculations provide the same constant of proportionality, we find that the constant of proportionality is:

\[ \boxed{13.80} \]
