Answer 1

Let x be the weight in ounces and y be the cost of ice cream custard.

Since the cost is directly proportional to the weight, we can write the equation as:

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

We are given that the cost of ice cream custard is $15.00 when the weight is 2.50 ounces. Substituting these values into the equation:

15 = k * 2.50

To find the constant of proportionality, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.50:

k = 15 / 2.50

Simplifying:

k = 6

Therefore, the equation of the graph is:

y = 6x

Answer 2

Answer is y=5x

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.
