5. Graphs of Proportional Relationships
Sign In
Check whether the given function is in the form of y=kx or can be written in the form of y=kx.
Is x and y proportional? Yes.
Constant of Proportionality: 1/2
Explanation: The equation can be written as y=kx.
We want to determine if x and y are proportional.
x/y=2
LHS * y=RHS* y
.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.
a/b=1/b* a
Rearrange equation
We can write the equation in the form y= kx, This means that x and y are proportional. We can also identify the constant of proportionality k. y= 12 * x The constant of proportionality is 12.
