A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u><em>and the line passes through the origin</em></u>
In this problem the linear equation represent a proportional relationship, because pass through the origin (0,0).
<em>Find the value of the constant of proportionality k</em>
