Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{{r=\frac{1}{9}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x and y are proportional.
[tex]y=rx[/tex]
Let x = 45 and y = 5.
[tex]5=r(45)[/tex]
Solve for r (constant of proportionality).
Divide both sides by 45.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{45} =r[/tex]
Simplify and switch sides.
[tex]\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
