Well, isn't that a happy little question! A non-example of a constant of proportionality would be a relationship where the ratio between two quantities is not always the same. Imagine a situation where the more you paint, the less paint you use each time - that would not have a constant of proportionality. Just like in painting, it's all about finding balance and harmony in the relationships around us.

A non-example of a constant of proportionality would be a variable relationship where the ratio between two quantities is not constant. For example, if the cost of buying apples is $2 per pound, but the cost of buying Oranges is $3 per pound, there is no constant of proportionality between the cost and the weight of the fruit. In this case, the cost per pound is not consistent and therefore does not represent a constant of proportionality.
Well, darling, a non-example of a constant of proportionality would be something that doesn't maintain a consistent ratio. So, if you have a relationship where the quantities don't increase or decrease at a fixed rate, then you're looking at a non-example. In simpler terms, if you can't slap a straight line on a graph of the data, it ain't no constant of proportionality, honey.
Yes, it does. Every time there are variables in direct or inverse relationship, there is a constant of proportionality.
Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
It is the constant of proportionality.
The state of being in proportion.
