Question

What is the constant of proportionality for the following distribution?

Answer 1

We can see that this distribution is a direct variation type of distribution. If we join the dots, we get the graph for direct proportionality, i.e., with increase in the value of $x$, the value of $y$ increases as well.



For direct proportionality,

$\frac{y}{x}=k$

If we take $x=6$ and $y=30$
then, $\frac{30}{6}=5$

Similarly for any value of $x$ and the corresponding value of $y$, the constant of proportionality, $k=5$. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
