What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y =2.5x

2.5

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

The equation of direct variation between two quantities x and y is given by :-

[tex]y=kx[/tex], where k is the constant of proportionality,

The given equation : - [tex]y =2.5xy[/tex]

When we compare to the general direct variation equation , we get

[tex]k=2.5[/tex]

hence, the constant of proportionality in the equation  2.5
