Question

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y=1/2x

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (1/2)x has the format y = kx, where k is the const. of prop.  In this particular case that const. of prop. is (1/2).

Answer 2

The constant of proportionality in the equation

$y = \frac{1}{2} x$

is

$\frac{1}{2}$

• The direct proportionality between x and y is established by :

y α x

α = proportionality symbol

y = kx - - - (1)

Where;

y and x are the variables

k = proportionality constant

Comparing (1) with the equation given :

$y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$y = kx$

The value of k aligns with $\frac{1}{2}$ in the given equation.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality, k in the equation is $\frac{1}{2}$
