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, indicating the direct proportional relationship between \( x \) and \( y \).
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
