Use the image to answer the question.

A graph with an x-axis representing time in minutes ranges from 0 to 4.5 in increments of 0.5. The y-axis representing distance in feet ranges from 0 to 9 in unit increments. A line is labeled speed of a sloth. The line passes through the following points: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 0.5 comma 3 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 1 comma 6 right parenthesis; and left parenthesis 1.5 comma 9 right parenthesis.

Identify the distance a sloth travels per minute.

The constant of proportionality can be found by comparing the y-coordinates (values of "y") to the x-coordinates (values of "x").

The y-coordinates increase by 14 every time the x-coordinate increases by 2.

So, the constant of proportionality is found by dividing the change in y-coordinates (14) by the change in x-coordinates (2):

14 / 2 = 7.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality for this graph is 7.
