Question

1. The graph shows how many bottles a machine fills in a certain number of seconds
2. What is the constant of proportionality, and what does it mean in this situation?








b. Choose one ordered pair on the graph. What does it represent in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the constant of proportionality is the slope of the line. As the slope is constant, it means the production rate is constant.

if we choose (0, 0) and (30, 600), the slope is

m = (600 - 0) / (30 - 0) = 20 bottles filled every second

the point (30, 600) means that 600 bottles have been filled in the previous 30 seconds of run time.
