To find the constant of proportionality from the graph, we can observe the relationship between the x and y coordinates of the plotted points. In this case, we can see that for every 2 units increase in the x-coordinate, there is a 3 unit increase in the y-coordinate. Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 3/2 or 1.5. Answer: 3/2
Use the image to answer the question.
A graph shows an x-axis representing time in seconds ranging from 0 to 12 in increments of 2. The y-axis represents heartbeats ranging from 0 to 18 in increments of 3. The graph shows a line representing resting heart rate.
What is the average number of heartbeats per second?

To find the average number of heartbeats per second, we need to determine the change in heartbeats divided by the change in time.
From the graph, we can see that the resting heart rate is a straight line. The line passes through the points (0, 0) and (12, 18).
To find the change in heartbeats, we subtract the y-coordinate of the starting point from the y-coordinate of the ending point: 18 - 0 = 18.
To find the change in time, we subtract the x-coordinate of the starting point from the x-coordinate of the ending point: 12 - 0 = 12.
Therefore, the average number of heartbeats per second is 18 divided by 12, which simplifies to 3/2 or 1 1/2 beats per second.
So, the correct answer is "1 1/2 beats per second".

So, the correct answer is "1 1/2 beats per second".
