A group of hikers is packing trail mix. The direct variation equation y=34x

Question

shows the relationship between number of hikers, x
, and number of cups of trail mix, y
. What is the constant of proportionality in this situation?(1 point)
The constant of proportionality is
.

Answer 1

In the direct variation equation \( y = kx \), where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality, the equation you provided is \( y = 34x \).

From this equation, we can see that the constant of proportionality \( k \) is 34.

Thus, the constant of proportionality is 34.
