Constant of Proportionality

Front

What is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is a constant value that relates two proportional quantities, often represented as k in the equation y = kx.

Front

How do you find the constant of proportionality from a table?

Back

To find the constant of proportionality from a table, divide the value of one quantity by the corresponding value of the other quantity.

Front

What does a constant of proportionality of 75 mean in a relationship?

Back

It means that for every unit increase in one quantity, the other quantity increases by 75 units.

Front

If the constant of proportionality is 16, what is the unit rate?

Back

The unit rate is also 16, meaning for every 1 unit of the first quantity, the second quantity increases by 16.

Front

What is the relationship between constant of proportionality and unit rate?

Back

The constant of proportionality is the same as the unit rate; both represent the ratio of two quantities.

Front

If a table shows values of 2 and 90, what is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 45, calculated as 90 divided by 2.

Front

What does a constant of proportionality of 1 indicate?

Back

A constant of proportionality of 1 indicates that the two quantities are equal; for every unit of one quantity, the other quantity is also one unit.

Front

How can you represent the constant of proportionality in a graph?

Back

In a graph, the constant of proportionality can be represented as the slope of the line that passes through the origin.

Front

What is the constant of proportionality if the values are 33 and 1?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 33, meaning for every 1 unit of the first quantity, the second quantity increases by 33.

Front

If the constant of proportionality is 0.5, what does this imply?

Back

It implies that for every 1 unit increase in the first quantity, the second quantity increases by 0.5 units.
