Proportional Relationship/Tables

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

How do you find the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality (k) can be found using the formula k = y/x.

Front

What does the constant of proportionality represent?

Back

It represents the factor by which one quantity changes in relation to another in a proportional relationship.

Front

What is the equation of a proportional relationship?

Back

The equation of a proportional relationship is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Front

What does it mean if a table shows a proportional relationship?

Back

It means that as one quantity increases or decreases, the other quantity does so at a constant rate.

Front

How can you tell if a table is proportional?

Back

A table is proportional if the ratios of corresponding values (y/x) are the same for all pairs.

Back

The constant of proportionality is 9.3.

Front

Which statement describes a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship can be described as one where the graph is a straight line that passes through the origin.

Front

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

Back

In proportional relationships, the ratio is constant; in non-proportional relationships, the ratio varies.
