Question

Is this proportional, why or why not? 17y=x

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Quantities in proportion have the form

y = kx ← where k is the constant of proportionality

Given

17y = x ( divide both sides by 17 )

y =
`(1)/(17)` x ← in proportional form

with k =
`(1)/(17)`

Answer 2

This is proportional

Explanation:

This is proportional because the ratio from y:x will always stay a constant 17:1
