Constant of Proportionality Tables Equations

Front

What is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two proportional quantities, often represented as a unit rate.

Front

What is a unit rate?

Back

A unit rate is a comparison of two different quantities when they are combined together. It is often expressed as a fraction.

Front

How do you determine if a table is proportional?

Back

A table is proportional if the ratio of the values in one column to the values in another column remains constant.

Front

What does it mean if a relationship is proportional?

Back

A proportional relationship means that as one quantity changes, the other quantity changes at a constant rate.

Front

If the constant of proportionality is 3, what is the unit rate?

Back

The unit rate is 3.

Front

What is the constant of proportionality if the values are 9 and 3?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 3 (9 divided by 3).

Front

If a table shows values of (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), is it proportional?

Back

Yes, it is proportional because the ratio remains constant at 3.

Front

What is the missing value if the constant of proportionality is 5 and the first value is 3?

Back

The missing value is 15 (3 multiplied by 5).

Front

What is the formula to find the constant of proportionality?

Back

The formula is k = y/x, where k is the constant of proportionality, y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.

Front

If a table is non-proportional, what does that indicate?

Back

It indicates that the ratios of the values do not remain constant.
