square in inches, x, and the perimeter of the square in inches, y. What is the constant of proportionality?

y/x

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality defines two directly proportional quantities that decrease or increase proportionally/same rate.

Given constant of proportionality= k

Side of the square= x

Perimeter of the square= y

constant of proportionality=k=y/x

For example if perimeter of square is 8 and side of square is 2, constant of proportionality is 8/2=4

the expression (1.26)2t reveals the approximate rate of increases in the number of plants semiannually.

hope this : )
