In the direct variation equation \( y = \frac{3}{4}x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). In this case, the constant of proportionality is \( \frac{3}{4} \).
So, the constant of proportionality is \( \frac{3}{4} \).
A group of hikers is packing trail mix. The direct variation equation y=3/4x
shows the relationship between number of hikers, x
, and number of cups of trail mix, y
