The video tutorial explains how to identify proportional relationships in tables by checking for a constant rate of change and ensuring both quantities start at zero. It provides examples of proportional and non-proportional tables, emphasizing the importance of analyzing both X and Y columns for consistent changes. The tutorial concludes with steps to verify proportional relationships.

What are the two conditions required for a table to represent a proportional relationship?

• Variable rate of change and starting with a non-zero value

• Variable rate of change and starting with nothing

• Constant rate of change and starting with a non-zero value

• Constant rate of change and starting with nothing

What does a constant rate of change imply in a proportional relationship?

• For every set amount of X, there is a consistent change in Y

• There is no consistent change between X and Y

• The change in X is always greater than the change in Y

• The change in Y is always greater than the change in X

In a proportional relationship, what should you observe in the Y column for every set change in the X column?

• Random changes

• A decrease in value

• A consistent increase or decrease

• No change at all

Why is it important to check both the X and Y columns when determining proportionality?

• Because changes in Y alone can be misleading

• Because changes in X alone can be misleading

• Because only the Y column matters

• Because both columns must show a consistent pattern

What happens if the change in X is not consistent with the change in Y?

• The relationship becomes exponential

• The relationship becomes linear

• The relationship is not proportional

• The relationship is still proportional

What does 'starting with nothing' mean in the context of proportional relationships?

• Both X and Y start with non-zero values

• Both X and Y start with zero

• X starts with zero, but Y does not

• Y starts with zero, but X does not

How can you identify the starting point in a table for proportional relationships?

• Look for where X is zero and check the corresponding Y value

• Look for the lowest value in the Y column

• Look for where Y is zero and check the corresponding X value

• Look for the highest value in the X column

What indicates a non-proportional relationship in a table?

• Inconsistent changes in X or Y

• A constant rate of change

• Both X and Y starting with zero

• Consistent changes in both X and Y

If a table starts with a non-zero value in the Y column, what does it imply?

• The relationship is linear

• The relationship is not proportional

• The relationship is proportional

• The relationship is exponential

What should you ultimately look for in a graph to determine proportionality?

• X and Y both starting with non-zero values

• X starting with zero and Y showing consistent change

• Y starting with zero and X showing consistent change

• Random changes in both X and Y
