The problem asks to find the constant of proportionality from the table, which represents how much Jose pays monthly for movie streaming.

The table shows the number of months $ x $ and the total amount Jose has paid in dollars $ y $.

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{x months} & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
\text{y dollars} & 17 & 34 & 51 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

To find the constant of proportionality, we assume that the amount Jose pays each month is the same. This means we need to check if the ratio of $ \frac{y}{x} $ (the amount paid per month) is constant.

\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{17}{1} = 17, \quad \frac{34}{2} = 17, \quad \frac{51}{3} = 17
\]

Since the ratio $ \frac{y}{x} $ is constant and equal to 17, this means the constant of proportionality is **17**.

In other words, Jose pays **$17** per month for movie streaming.

2. How do you determine if a relationship is proportional from a table?
3. Can there be situations where the constant of proportionality is not obvious?
4. How would the table change if Jose had a discount after 3 months?
5. What other scenarios might involve constant proportional relationships?

**Tip:** When working with proportional relationships, always verify that the ratio remains consistent across all data points!
