In her science classroom Jane noticed that the lengths (in inches) and the weights (in ounces) of the class's pet snakes were di
rectly related by the equation y = kx, where x is the length and y is the weight. Use the information in the table to find k, the constant of proportionality.
Use one of the ordered pairs that are given to find the value of 'k', the CONSTANT of variation. This number will not change, hence the word 'constant'.
15 = k*6; dividing both sides by 6 we get k = 2.5; The equation used for the table is y = 2.5x
7,9,10 in that order in the y portion on the chart are the answers then use the x and y answers as graphing points for example the first one your going to graph is (3,7)
