If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
It is called the constant of proportionality.
answer: 2.5 :)
If two variables are directly proportional to one another then the constant of proportionality is the ratio of their values. If they are in inverse proportion then the constant of proportionality is the product of their values.
The basic proportionality theorem is an important tool for proving similarity tests such as SAS. It is used in comparison of similar triangles and finding their measurements.
