the cost of the cream custard is 15$ the weight (in ounces) is 0
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)
The equation of the graph, with its constant of proportionality, would be:
Cost = k * Weight
Since the cost of the cream custard is $15 when the weight is 0, we can substitute these values into the equation:
15 = k * 0
Since any number multiplied by 0 is always 0, the constant of proportionality (k) must be undefined or 0.
To determine the constant of proportionality, we need two data points - the cost of the cream custard and its weight in ounces. However, in this case, we only have the cost ($15) and the weight (0 ounces) of the cream custard.
Since the weight is 0 ounces, we cannot determine the constant of proportionality using this information alone. We need at least one more data point to complete the equation of the graph.
To determine the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio between the cost of the cream custard and its weight in ounces.
Let's call the constant of proportionality "k". We can set up the equation using the given information:
Cost of cream custard = k * weight in ounces
So, we have:
15 dollars = k * 0 ounces
Since the weight is given as 0 ounces, the equation implies that the cost of cream custard is $0 regardless of the constant of proportionality.
Therefore, the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality would be:
Cost of cream custard = $0
