Answer 2

Given,

$\[y = 14x\]$

To find,

The constant of proportionality.

Solution,

Understand that here y is directly proportional to x i.e. if a positive change is introduced in y then a similar magnitude of positive change shall be reflected in x. Similarly, if a negative change is introduced in y then a similar magnitude of negative change shall be reflected in x.

Therefore,

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow y\alpha x\\ \Rightarrow y = 14x\end{array}\]$

where, $\[14\]$ is the constant of proportnality.

Hence, the constant of proportionality is $\[14.\]$
