Kevin is told that for a particular math problem, the value of y is always 32 times the value of x . Kevin writes the equation y=32x to show the relationship between x and y . What is the constant of proportionality?(1 point)
are you sure
The constant of proportionality is 32.
Apologies for the confusion. Yes, I am sure that the constant of proportionality in the equation y=32x is 32. In this equation, every value of x is multiplied by 32 to get the corresponding value of y. Therefore, the value of y is always 32 times the value of x, making 32 the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality represents the ratio between the two variables in a proportional relationship. In this case, Kevin is told that the value of y is always 32 times the value of x. This implies a direct proportionality between y and x.
The equation that Kevin writes, y = 32x, shows that y is directly proportional to x. The constant of proportionality is the coefficient of x, which is 32 in this equation.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality in this case is 32.
