To determine the constant of proportionality between \[y\] and \[x\] in a graph, we need to find the slope of the graph. The slope represents how much the value of \[y\] changes for a given change in \[x\].
If the graph is a straight line, we can find the slope by selecting any two points on the line and using the formula:
\[\text{slope} = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
However, since no graph is provided in the question, we cannot determine the constant of proportionality without further information.
What is the constant of proportionality between
\[y\] and
\[x\] in the graph?
