the equation y = 7x gives the relationship between the number of road projects, x, and the number of weeks it takes a crew of workers to complete all the projects, y. what is the constant of proportionally? what does it mean in this context?

1 answer

The constant of proportionality in this equation is 7.

In this context, it means that for every increase of 1 project (x), the number of weeks (y) required to complete all the projects will increase by a factor of 7. This implies that the crew of workers takes 7 weeks to complete one road project.
