Representing Proportional Relationships

Front

What is the process to put a fraction in simplest form?

Back

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Front

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y = kx?

Back

The constant of proportionality (k) is the ratio of y to x.

Front

How can you determine if a table of values represents a proportional relationship?

Back

If the ratio of y to x is constant for all pairs of values, then the relationship is proportional.

Front

What is the constant of proportionality if k = 30?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 30.

Front

How do you find the constant of proportionality (k) using x and y?

Back

Front

What does it mean for two quantities to be proportional?

Back

Two quantities are proportional if they maintain a constant ratio.

Front

If y = 5x, what is the constant of proportionality?

Back

The constant of proportionality is 5.

Front

What is the formula for finding k in a proportional relationship?

Back

Front

If a table shows the values (2, 6), (4, 12), and (6, 18), is it proportional?

Back

Yes, because the ratio of y to x is constant (3).

Front

What is the relationship between the constant of proportionality and the slope of a line?

Back

The constant of proportionality is equal to the slope of the line in a graph of a proportional relationship.
