Kevin is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 32 times the value of x. Kevin writes the equation y = 32x to show the relationship between x and y. what is the constant proportionality?

Answer 1

In the equation \( y = 32x \), the constant proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \), which is 32. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 32 units, indicating that \( y \) is proportional to \( x \) with a constant factor of 32. Thus, the constant proportionality is 32.
