. What is the constant of proportionality in this situation?(1 point) .

Answer 1

In the direct variation equation \( y = 34x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). In this case, the constant of proportionality is \( 34 \). This means that for each hiker, there are 34 cups of trail mix.
