time = k * number of cars
the constant of proportionality is
k = 19 min / 2 cars = 9.5 minutes / car
so for 17 cars
time = 9.5 min /car * 17 cars = 161.5 min (note cars cancels and you are left with minutes)

The constant of proportionality is 9.5.

To find how long it will take Karah to wash 17 cars, we can plug in 17 for x in the equation y = 9.5x:

y = 9.5 * 17
y = 161.5

Thus, it will take Karah 161.5 minutes to wash 17 cars.

You are correct. The constant of proportionality in this case is k = 9.5 minutes/car. Plugging in 17 cars into the equation, we get:

time = 9.5 min/car * 17 cars = 161.5 minutes.

So it will take Karah 161.5 minutes to wash 17 cars.
