(a)

Answer to Problem 4GP
The constant of proportionality is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The number of students on a school trip is proportional to the number of teachers as shown in the graph:
Calculation:
As shown in the graph, the points
Calculate the ratio of number of students to number of teachers.
And,
As the ratio is constant equal to
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is
