Question

Sam wants to write an equation to represent a

proportional relationship with a constant of proportionali
of 6. He writes the equation y = 6 + X.
Is he correct. If not, what is the correct equation? Explai
your answer. Consider the graph of the equation in your
response

Answer 1

No, Sam is not correct. The graph of a proportional relationship has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Sam added the constant of proportionality instead of using it as the coefficient of x. The correct equation is y = 6x. Sam’s graph would be a straight line, but it would not pass through the origin.
