What is the constant of proportionality,and what does it mean?a) 3; Troy eats 3 eggs per day.b) 12; Troy eats 12 eggs per day.c) 6; Troy eats 6 eggs per day.d) 2: Troy eats 2 eggs per day.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 6; Troy eats 6 eggs per day.

Explanation:

From the graph:

When days = 2, Number of eggs = 12

When days = 4, Number of eggs = 24

$\frac{\text{Number of eggs}}{Day}=\frac{12}{2}=\frac{24}{4}=6$

Therefore, Troy eats 6 eggs per day.

The correct choice is C.
