2x=10y determine the constant of proportionality. assume that y represents all of the outputs and x represents the inputs

a = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = ax be a linear equation, where x is the input variable and y is the output variable, then "a" is the proportionality constant between x and y.

To find the proportionality constant of the given equation, we must take it to the form y = ax.

We have:

2x = 10y

We divide both sides of the equation by 10.

0.2x = y

y = 0.2x.

Then the constant of proportionality is:

a = 0.2
