Exploring Proportional Relationships in 7th Grade Math

The video introduces the concept of proportional relationships, where the ratio between two variables remains constant. It provides examples using variables x and y to demonstrate a proportional relationship and contrasts it with a non-proportional example using variables a and b. The video concludes by explaining how to identify proportional relationships by examining the consistency of ratios.

What defines a proportional relationship between two variables?

• The ratio of the variables is constant

• The difference between the variables is constant

• The sum of the variables is constant

• The product of the variables is constant
