The equation of constant of proportionality will be y = 2.5x.

Given A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 has entries 2, 4, 5. Column 2 has entries 5, 10, 12.5.

Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It can be a linear equation,quadratic equation,cubic equation.

Equation from two points can be found out by putting the values of points in the formula given below:

[tex](y-y_{1})=(y_{2} -y_{1} /x_{2} -x_{1} )*(x-x_{1} )[/tex] in which [tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ),(x_{2} ,y_{2} )[/tex] are the end points of the line.

Equation of constant proportionality looks like:

k=y/x

in which k is slope which is to be find out according to the same formula as we find in the equation of line.

Slope from (2,5),(4,10) is (10-5/4-2)

=5/2

=2.5

Put the value of k=2.5 in formula of slope.

2.5=y/x

2.5x=y

y=2.5x.

Hence the equation of constant of proportionality is y=2.5x.
