In the equation \( y = 8x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). In this case, the constant of proportionality is 8. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 8 units.
Donte is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y
is always 8 times the value of x
. Donte writes the equation y=8x
to show the relationship between x
and y
. What is the constant of proportionality?(1 point)
