Question

The graph shows the amount of money paid when purchasing bags of peanuts at the zoo:

A graph is shown. The x-axis is labeled from 0 to 9 and the y-axis is labeled from 0 to 13. The four points shown on the graph are ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 4 and 2, 8 and 3, 12. These points are joined by a line. The label on the x-axis is Bags of peanuts. The title on the y-axis is Total cost in dollars.

What is the constant of proportionality?
1
4
one-fourth
one-third

Answer 1

The answer for this question is four

Answer 2

the constant of proportionality would be "4"  ... proportional relationships are in the form of y = kx..  so in your ordered pairs, you can see that to get the 'y' coordinates you would have to multiply the 'x' coordinates by 4.
