What does it mean for a relationship to be proportional?

Back

A proportional relationship is one where two quantities maintain a constant ratio. In a graph, this relationship is represented by a straight line that passes through the origin.

Front

How do you determine if a graph represents a proportional relationship?

Back

A graph represents a proportional relationship if it is a straight line that passes through the origin (0,0).

Front

What are coordinates in a graph?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What is the difference between a proportional and a non-proportional relationship?

Back

In a proportional relationship, the ratio between the two quantities is constant, while in a non-proportional relationship, this ratio changes.

Front

How can you identify the coordinates of a plotted point?

Back

The coordinates of a plotted point can be identified by looking at its position on the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). For example, the point (3, -3) means x=3 and y=-3.

What does a flat rate mean in a real-world context?

Back

A flat rate means a fixed charge for a service, regardless of the amount of time or distance involved.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables.
