Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember the following:
The constant of proportionality, which is represented as "k", describe the constant ratio of two quantities that are proportional (the independent and dependent variables).
In this case we know that the independent quantity represents the total members of the band and the dependent quantity represents the woodwind members of the band.
Since the band consists of 3 woodwinds for every 7 members of the band, we can conclude that the constant of proportionality for this relationship is:
Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.
How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.
Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.
Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
