Question

Troy is training for a wrestling tournament, and he eats eggs every day. The graph shows thetotal number of eggs Troy eats over a period of days. What is the constant of proportionality,and what does it mean?a) 3; Troy eats 3 eggs per day.b) 12; Troy eats 12 eggs per day.c) 6; Troy eats 6 eggs per day.d) 2: Troy eats 2 eggs per day.

Answer 1

C) 6; Troy eats 6 eggs per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph:

When days = 2, Number of eggs = 12

When days = 4, Number of eggs = 24

`\frac{\text{Number of eggs}}{Day}=(12)/(2)=(24)/(4)=6`

Therefore, Troy eats 6 eggs per day.

The correct choice is C.
