To complete the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality for the cost of ice cream custard that is directly proportional to its weight in ounces, you would first need to know the constant of proportionality, which is essentially the cost per ounce.
The general equation for direct proportionality is:
\[ y = kx \]
where:
- \( y \) is the total cost of the ice cream custard,
- \( x \) is the weight of the ice cream custard in ounces, and
- \( k \) is the constant of proportionality (the cost per ounce of ice cream custard).
If you do not provide the actual constant of proportionality (the price per ounce), the equation remains as:
\[ \text{Cost} = k \times \text{Weight in ounces} \]
If you have a specific value for \( k \), you could insert it into the equation to make it complete. For example, if the cost per ounce is $2, then the equation would be:
\[ \text{Cost} = 2 \times \text{Weight in ounces} \]
\[ y = 2x \]
Without the specific value for \( k \), this is as complete as the equation can be.
At the Custard Creamery, the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight in ounces. Complete the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality.
