To complete the equation of the graph, we need to determine the constant of proportionality between the cost of ice cream custard (y) and its weight in ounces (x).
Looking at the image alone does not provide sufficient information to determine the constant of proportionality. We would need additional data or information about specific points on the graph to calculate the constant.
To find the constant of proportionality, we would have to know the cost of custard for at least two different weights. With this information, we could calculate the slope of the line connecting those two points, and the slope would represent the constant of proportionality.
Without this additional information, we cannot accurately complete the equation or determine the constant of proportionality from the image alone.
To determine the constant of proportionality, we need to find the ratio of the cost of the ice cream custard to its weight in ounces. By looking at the graph, we can see that for every 2 ounces, the cost is $4.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is $4/2oz = $2/oz.
Based on this, we can complete the equation of the graph as:
y = 2x
