Question

For the equation $y=mx$, what is the constant of proportionality?

Answer 1

$\text{Detailed step-by-step solution:}$

• Constant of proportionality is the constant ratio of two variables related proportionally.
• Since the graph of the equation $y=mx$ is a straight line passing through the origin, the quantities $x$ and $y$ are proportionally related to each other.

The constant of proportionality for the equation will be $\frac{y}{m}=\text{m}.$

$➡$ Option D is correct.
