Exploring Constant of Proportionality in Tables

The video tutorial reviews the concept of finding the constant of proportionality from tables, focusing on the magic fraction Y over X. It includes examples using miles per gallon and dollars per hour to illustrate the correct method of calculation, emphasizing the importance of identifying X and Y correctly.

What is the main topic of the review session?

• Solving quadratic equations

• Reviewing algebraic expressions

• Understanding the constant of proportionality
