Constant of Proportionality — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 7 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Find the constant of proportionality k in y = kx. Write k as a whole number or a fraction in simplest form.
How to solve
In a proportional relationship y = kx, the constant of proportionality is k = yx — the unit rate. Pick any pair (x, y) with x not 0, divide y by x, and simplify. For an equation like 4y = 12x, solve for y first: y = 3x, so k = 3.
