The constant of proportionality for this graph can be found by calculating the ratio of the y-values to the x-values. We can choose any two points on the line to do this.
Let's choose the points (0, 0) and (2, 14). The ratio of the y-values (14) to the x-values (2) is 14/2 = 7.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality for this graph is 7.
Use the image to answer the question.
A graph shows an x-axis ranging from 0 to 12 in increments of 2 and a y-axis ranging from 0 to 84 in increments of 14. A line passes through the following plotted points: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 2 comma 14 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 4 comma 28 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 6 comma 42 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 8 comma 56 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 10 comma 70 right parenthesis; and left parenthesis 12 comma 84 right parenthesis.
Using the points shown in the graph, identify the constant of proportionality for this graph.
