What is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is the constant ratio in a proportional relationship, often represented as 'k' in the equation y = kx.

How do you find the unit rate?

Back

To find the unit rate, divide the total amount by the number of units. For example, if 3 pounds of apples cost $3.60, the unit rate is $3.60 ÷ 3 = $1.20 per pound.

What does it mean if a graph goes through the origin?

Back

If a graph goes through the origin (0,0), it indicates a proportional relationship between the two variables.

What is a non-proportional relationship?

Back

A non-proportional relationship is when the ratio between two quantities is not constant, and the graph does not pass through the origin.

If a table shows a constant ratio of 45, what does this represent?

Back

This represents the constant of proportionality, indicating that for every unit increase in x, y increases by 45.

If a graph shows a straight line but does not pass through the origin, what can be concluded?

Back

It indicates a non-proportional relationship.
