See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two variables (say x and y); the constant of proportionality is the ratio between these to variables.

Illustration; y is directly proportional to x

The above statement can be represented as:

[tex]y\ \alpha\ x[/tex]

When converted to an equation, you get

[tex]y\ =k x[/tex]

k, in the above equation, represents the constant of proportionality

Divide both sides by x to solve for k

[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Take for instance: [tex]y = 3x[/tex]

Divide both sides by x

[tex]\frac{y}{x} = 3[/tex] --- 3 is the constant of proportionality
