Question

1. Is it proportional?

2. If so, what is the constant of
proportionality? (unit rate)
3. Write an equation that
expresses the table in the
form
Y = KX

Answer 1

Y=5(x) Yes it is porportional.

Explanation:

So lets look at the graph.

We first have 1x = 5y

Well, that makes it seem like for each x there are 5 y.

Lets see the other values:

2x = 10y

Divide both sides by 2 tog et x alone:

1x=5y

Again, for each x, there are 5y.

This is true for each one:

3x=15y

=

1x=5y

4x=20y

=

1x=5y

5x=25y

=

1x=5y

and finally:

6x=30y

=

1x=5y.

So yes, this is poroportional.

It can be shown as x=5y, since for a single x, there are 5 y's.

Hope this helps!
