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 of proportionality?

1 answer

In the equation \( y = 32x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). Here, the coefficient of \( x \) is 32.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 32.
