Question

Use proportional reasoning to find the constant of proportionality for the relationship shown on the graph.

Answer 1

The unit rate is 6 so the constant of proportionality is 6.

Answer 2

constant of proportionality will be 6

Explanation:

In the given graph number of meal prepared and number of days have been graphed

Since relation between them has been represented by a straight line, so their relation can be represented by

Number of meals prepared × number of days

or Number of meals = K × number of days

where K is the proportionality constant.

Now K =
`\frac{\text{Number of days}}{\text{Number of meals}}`

=
`(30)/(5)`

= 6

therefore, constant of proportionality will be 6
