9(240)= 2160 pea pods picked per day
2160(6)=12960 peas picked per day
Answer: The workers pick 12,960 peas every day
<h3>
The constant of proportionality is k = 5</h3>
For direct proportion equations, you divide the y value over its corresponding x value to get the value of k.
For example, the point (x,y) = (2,10) is on the diagonal line. So k = y/x = 10/2 = 5.
Another example: the point (x,y) = (6, 30) is also on the same diagonal line, so k = y/x = 30/6 = 5 is the same result as before.
You can use any point on the diagonal line as long as it is not (0,0). This is because division by zero is not allowed.
side note: the direct proportion equation y = k*x becomes y = 5*x which is the graph of that diagonal line. The slope is m = 5, the y intercept is b = 0. All direct proportion graphs go through the origin as shown in the diagram.
Answer:
The correct answer is the second one because -10/3 and that graph adds up

Answer: (2, 3)</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
1/4 = 0.25 is the scale factor
Multiply this with each coordinate of the given point
0.25*8 = 2 is the new x coordinate
0.25*12 = 3 is the new y coordinate
So (8,12) moves to (2,3) after applying the dilation
The scale factor k makes 0 < k < 1 true, so the point is closer to the origin after applying the dilation.
--------
Side note: this trick of multiplying the scale factor by each coordinate only works if the dilation is centered at the origin. For any other center, you'll need to apply a translation first, dilate, then translate back again.
