In effect, there is a proportional relationship between the mass and the volume of the pieces of metal. The equation of the line that adapts to the given data is given by: y = 0.1174x. Therefore the proportionality constant is 0.1174
Answer: The answer is 324 all you have to do is just divide 7,776 by 24 then Breaking it into expanded form.
Slope = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)
Slope = (1 -7) / (10 -1)
Slope = -6 / 9 = -0.6666666666666666
