Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation [tex]y=\frac{5}{4}x[/tex] and we are asked to find the constant of proportionality in the given equation.

If two variables are proportional, there is always a constant ratio between them. This constant is called the constant of proportionality.    

Since we know that a directly proportional equation in in form: [tex]y=kx[/tex], where k is constant of proportionality.

Upon comparing our given equation with the directly proportional equation we can see that [tex]k=\frac{5}{4}[/tex], therefore, constant of proportionality in our given equation is [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex].

When 'y' is directly proportional to 'x' then according to the given expression the proportionality constant will be 5/4 and this can be determined by using the definition of proportionality constant.

Given :

Equation - [tex]y = \dfrac{5}{4}x[/tex]

When two variables are proportional to each other, then their ratio will be equal to a constant, then that constant is known as the proportionality constant.

So, in the given expression y is directly proportional to x then their ratio is equal to a constant which is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, when 'y' is directly proportional to 'x' then according to the given expression the proportionality constant will be 5/4.
