Water is steadily dripping from a faucet into a bowl. You want to write an equation that represents the number of milliliters y of water in the bowl after x seconds. What is the constant of proportionality for the relationship between the number of milliliters y of water in the bowl and the time in seconds x? What is the equation? Water from Dripping Faucet

The constant of proportionality is nothing.

16 is the constant of proportionality and the equation is y=16x

Step-by-step explanation:

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

there is no grid
