The equation given, y = 8x, shows the relationship between y and x. However, the question states that y is always 8 times the value of z, not x. Therefore, the equation should be y = 8z.
The constant of proportionality in this equation is 8.
Donte is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 8 times the value of z. Donte
writes the equation y = 8x to show the relationship between x and y. What is the constant of
proportionality? (1 point)
