Question

Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship. If the relationship could be proportional, what would the constant of proportionality be? Fill in the information.

a. How loud a sound is depending on how far away you are.
Distance to sound listener (ft) level (dB)
5, Not proportional
10, Not proportional
20, Not proportional
40, Not proportional

Answer 1

The table does not represent a proportional relationship between the distance to the sound listener and the level of sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table does not represent a proportional relationship because the level of sound (dB) does not change at a constant rate as the distance to the sound listener (ft) increases.
