The constant of proportionality in the equation \( y = 8x \) is the coefficient of \( x \), which represents the price of one movie ticket. In this case, the constant of proportionality is **8** (dollars per ticket).
Now, to find the total cost of the 6 tickets:
\[
y = 8x
\]
where \( x \) is the number of tickets. For 6 tickets, we substitute \( x = 6 \):
\[
y = 8 \times 6 = 48
\]
So, the total cost of the 6 tickets is **$48**.
Now, to find the total cost of the 6 tickets:
\[
y = 8x
\]
where \( x \) is the number of tickets. For 6 tickets, we substitute \( x = 6 \):
\[
y = 8 \times 6 = 48
\]
So, the total cost of the 6 tickets is **$48**.
