In the equation \( y = 32x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). Here, the constant of proportionality is 32. This means that for every unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 32 units.
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?
