The equation y = kx represents a proportional relationship between x and y, where k is the constant of proportionality. For a moving object, the equation d = st represents a proportional relationship between distance (d) and speed (s) or between distance (d) and time (t). Explain the different ways that you can define the constant of proportionality for this equation.    My question is what is the constant of proportionality in each equation.
