Answer 1

Answer: The constant of proportionality is r = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

O, we know that x and y are proportional, this means that:

y = r*x

where r is the constant of proportionality.

we also have the table

x    y

7    35

12   60

20   100

Now, we can replace those values in our equation and get, for the first pair:

35 = r*7

r = 35/7 = 5

for the second pair:

60 = r*12

60/12 = 5 = r

So we can conclude that the constant of proportionality is 5.
