Representing Proportional Relationships
2
What is a proportion?
A statement that two rates or ratios are equivalent.
When determining if two ratios are proportional, think of them as fractions and ask yourself, "are these fractions equivalent?"

What is a proportional relationship?
A relationship between two quantities in which the ratio of one quantity to the other is constant.
A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to the other.
In a proportional relationship, the rate of change is constant.
5
Relationships are proportional if...
The rates are CONSTANT!
If you divide one quantity (y) by the other (x), you will always get the same number.
This number is called the constant of proportionality (k).
6
Examples of Non-Proportional Relationships
The rates are NOT constant.
When you divide y by x for each row/column, not all the answers are the same.
There is NO k!

9
Writing an Equations using the Constant of Proportionality (k)
Find k in the table by dividing y by x.
Write an equation for the table (or graph) in the form y = kx.

Graphs of Proportional Relationships
Graphs of proportional relationships are straight lines.
The line starts at the origin (0, 0).
Sometimes the graphs are written as a set of points (no line drawn through them).

Multiple Choice
Does the following graph represent a proportional relationship?

15
Writing Equations (y = kx) from Graphs
Look for the point where x = 1. This is the k value!! (unit rate)
You can use any point (x,y) on the graph and divide y/x.
Write the equation in the form y = kx.
16
Another example:
Write the equation of the proportional graph in the form y = kx.
