Answer:

  • k = 16
  • y = 16x

Step-by-step explanation:

y is proportional to x when it satisfies the equation ...

  y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality. The equation can be solved for k by dividing by x:

  k = y/x

The value of k for the given relation is ...

  k = (320 mL)/(20 s)

  k = 16 mL/s . . . the constant of proportionality

Then the equation is ...

  y = 16x
