Proportionality in Tables and Graphs

Front

What is proportionality in tables and graphs?

Back

Proportionality refers to a relationship where two quantities maintain a constant ratio, meaning as one quantity increases or decreases, the other does so in a consistent manner.

What does it mean if a graph does not pass through the origin?

Back

If a graph does not pass through the origin, it indicates that the relationship is non-proportional, meaning the ratio between the two quantities is not constant.

What does it mean if a relationship is described as 'not proportional'?

Back

A relationship is 'not proportional' if the ratio between the two quantities changes, meaning it does not maintain a constant relationship.
