Constant of Proportionality (Tables)

Front

What is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is the constant value (k) that relates two proportional quantities in the form y = kx.

Front

How do you determine if a relationship is proportional?

Back

A relationship is proportional if the ratio of y to x is constant for all pairs of values.

Front

If y = 33x, what is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 33.

Front

What does the equation y = kx represent?

Back

It represents a proportional relationship where k is the constant of proportionality.

Front

If the constant of proportionality is 3, what is the value of y when x = 5?

Back

y = 3 * 5 = 15.
