It seems like you're referring to a graph that has not been provided, so I'll guide you on how to find the constant of proportionality using a graph.
The constant of proportionality is found in a direct variation relationship, where one quantity is directly proportional to another. This means that if you have a graph plotting two variables \(y\) (dependent variable) versus \(x\) (independent variable), the constant of proportionality \(k\) can be determined using the formula:
\[ y = kx \]
To find \(k\) from the graph:
1. **Identify Two Points on the Line**: Choose any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) that lie on the line of the graph.
2. **Calculate the Constant**: Use the formula:
\[
k = \frac{y}{x}
\]
For both points.
If the graph is a straight line passing through the origin (0,0), then you can pick any point on the line and calculate \(k\):
\[
k = \frac{y}{x}
\]
3. **Consistency Check**: Both calculations of \(k\) from the two points should yield the same result if the relationship is truly proportional.
If you provide specific coordinates of points from the graph, I can help you calculate \(k\) directly!
