Question

The graph shows the amount of money paid when purchasing bags of peanuts at the zoo: What is the constant of proportionality? (4 points) Select one: a. 1 b. 4 c. d.

Answer 1

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Let

y ----> the total cost in dollars

x ----> the number of bags of peanuts

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

To find out the constant of proportionality, we need to take one point from the graph

take the point (1,4)

Find the value of k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

substitute the value of x and the value of y

$k=\frac{4}{1}=\ 4\ per bag$
