Use the information in the table to find the constant of proportionality and write the equation.

Question

The constant of proportionality is
2.5
.
The equation that represents this proportional relationship is
.

Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality and write the equation representing the proportional relationship, we can use the following general formula:

\[ y = kx \]

where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality, \( y \) is the dependent variable, and \( x \) is the independent variable.

Given that the constant of proportionality is \( 2.5 \), we can substitute \( k \) with \( 2.5 \):

\[ y = 2.5x \]

Therefore, the equation that represents this proportional relationship is:

\[ y = 2.5x \]
