1) The graph labeled and the ordered pairs plotted are shown in the second picture.

2) To calculate the amount of meat (in pounds) needed for a party of 75 people:

Substitute the value of the Constant of proportionality and x=75 into the equation y=kx and then evaluate (The result is 30 pounds).

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing graph is attached.

Proportional relationships have the following form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

1) You can observe in the graph shown in the first picture this point:

(10,4)

So you can subsitute the coordinates of this point into y=kx and solve for "k":

$4=k(10)\\\\k=\frac{4}{10}\\\\k=\frac{2}{5}$

Now you can find the amount of meat needed for 20, 30, 40, and 50 people with this procedure:

For 20 people

Substituting $k=\frac{2}{5}$ and x=20 into the equation y=kx and evaluating, you get:

$y=(\frac{2}{5})(20)=8$

The ordered pair is:

(20,8)

For 30 people

Substituting $k=\frac{2}{5}$ and x=30 into the equation y=kx and evaluating, you get:

$y=(\frac{2}{5})(30)=12$

The ordered pair is:

(30,12)

For 40 people

Substituting $k=\frac{2}{5}$ and x=40 into the equation y=kx and evaluating, you get:

$y=(\frac{2}{5})(40)=16$

The ordered pair is:

(40,16)

For 50 people

Substituting $k=\frac{2}{5}$ and x=50 into the equation y=kx and evaluating, you get:

$y=(\frac{2}{5})(50)=20$

The ordered pair is:

(50,20)

Knowing those values of "y"and having the ordered pairs, you can finish labeling the graph an plotting the ordered pairs (See the second picture.).

2) Substituting $k=\frac{2}{5}$ and x=75 into the equation y=kx and evaluating, you can calculate the amount of meat (in pounds) needed for a party of 75 people. This is:

$y=(\frac{2}{5})(75)=30$

image result for what is another name for consecutive interior angles?

when two lines are crossed by another line (called the transversal): the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal but inside the two lines are called consecutive interior angles. in this example, these are consecutive interior angles: d and f.

Answer from: Quest

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
