OH MA GOSH THANK YOU SOOO MUCH DAMON

You are welcome.

thank you so much

To find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y = rx, we need to use the given proportional relationship between x and y.

In a proportional relationship, the ratio between the values of x and y remains the same. We can find this ratio by dividing any two corresponding values of x and y.

Let's choose the first pair of values: x = 5.85 and y = 5.85.

To find r, we divide y by x:
r = y / x = 5.85 / 5.85 = 1

So, the constant of proportionality (r) in this case is 1.

In general, for any proportional relationship, the constant of proportionality (r) is obtained by dividing the value of y by the value of x for any given pair of corresponding values.
