Answer:

The constant of proportionality k is 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given [tex]y=\frac{3}{8}x[/tex] which describes a proportional relationship between x and y. We need to define constant of proportionality

If y ∝ x then

y=kx where k is constant of proportionality.

Comparing the given [tex]y=\frac{3}{8}x[/tex] with y=kx, we can find value of k i.e constant of proportionality.

So, k= 3/8

Hence, The constant of proportionality k is 3/8
