Question

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.

(1 point)
$$y = x

Answer 1

To complete the equation \(y = x\) with its constant of proportionality for the ice cream custard cost, you need to identify the constant of proportionality (k) that relates the cost (y) to the weight (x) in ounces.

In the context of direct proportionality, the equation can be expressed as:

\[ y = kx \]

In this case, you would need the specific cost of the custard per ounce to determine the constant \(k\). If you can provide that information (for example, if the cost of 1 ounce of ice cream is $2, then \(k = 2\)), I can help you complete the equation accordingly.

If, for example, the cost is $2 per ounce, then:

\[ y = 2x \]

Please provide the cost per ounce or any additional information to complete the equation accurately.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the misunderstanding. To correctly identify the complete equation of the graph in the case of direct proportionality, I'd need the value of the constant of proportionality based on the context provided.

If the statement is simply asking to express the relationship that cost is directly proportional to weight without specific numbers, the equation should be:

\[ y = kx \]

where \(k\) is the constant of proportionality.

If the question asks us to take the general direct proportionality into account and presents it in a simplified form, we typically express it as just:

\[ y = kx \]

where we specify \(k\) as the cost per unit weight (ounces in this case).

Without specific data or a value to replace \(k\), further clarification or additional information about the weight and cost would be necessary to provide the exact equation. If you have specific values in mind, please share them, and I'll ensure to help you format the equation correctly!
