Question

The graph shows the distance, in miles, that Anders traveled over a period of nine hours.

Use the graph to determine the constant of proportionality between the number of miles traveled and the number of hours traveled.
A. 60
B. 65
C. 130
D. 585

Answer 1

Answer: B. 65

Explanation:

Choose any point on the number line with natural numbers for both coordinates. For this case, let's use (4, 260).

To find the constant of proportionality, divide the Y coordinate by the X coordinate. 260 ÷ 4 = 65. While optional, it is reccomended to use two points to confirm your answer. Let's do that with (2, 130). Since 130 ÷ 2 = 65, this confirms that the constant of proportionality is 65.

Answer 2

the answer is B. 65
