Proportional & Non Proportional Relationships Review

Front

What is a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship is a relationship between two quantities where the ratio of one quantity to the other is constant.

Front

What is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is the constant value (k) that relates two proportional quantities, often represented as y = kx.

Front

How can you determine if a table represents a proportional relationship?

Back

A table represents a proportional relationship if the ratios of corresponding values are equal.

Front

What does a non-proportional relationship look like on a graph?

Back

A non-proportional relationship on a graph does not pass through the origin and does not maintain a constant ratio.

Front

In the equation y = kx, what does 'k' represent?

Back

In the equation y = kx, 'k' represents the constant of proportionality.

Front

If y = 14x, what is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 14.

Front

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of -2?

Back

The equation is y = 1/3x - 2.

Front

How do you find the missing value in a proportional table?

Back

To find the missing value in a proportional table, use the constant of proportionality to set up a proportion.

Front

What is an example of a proportional relationship in real life?

Back

An example of a proportional relationship is the relationship between distance and time when traveling at a constant speed.

Front

What is the difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships?

Back

Proportional relationships have a constant ratio, while non-proportional relationships do not.
