To find the missing values in the table, we can first determine the constant of proportionality.
Using the first row of data, we have:
c = k * y
12 = k * 5
k = 12/5 = 2.4
Now that we have the constant of proportionality, we can find the missing value in the second row:
28 = 2.4 * 7
y = 28/2.4 = 11.67
For the third row, we can substitute the value of c:
8 = 2.4 * y
y = 8/2.4 = 3.33
So the complete table is:
Drops of Food Coloring (c) Egg Yolks (y)
12 5
28 11.67
8 3.33
Now, we can plot the ordered pairs on the graph:
(12, 5)
(28, 11.67)
(8, 3.33)
