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