Answer:

Quantity y would also halve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory says the following about proportionality: Quanties x and y are proportional if y can be defined like:

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Let's have:

[tex]y_{1}= kx_{1}[/tex]

Then if x halves, we would have:

[tex]y_{2}= k\frac{x_{1}}{2}[/tex]

Then, y would also halve:

[tex]y_{2}= \frac{y_{1}}{2}[/tex]
