Study Notes
Equations of Proportional Relationships
- An equation representing a proportional relationship can be formed by using the quotient of coordinates as a coefficient.
- For a constant of proportionality equal to 2, the equation is expressed as y = 2x.
- The proportional relationship characterized by y/x = 7/10 indicates that the constant of proportionality is 7/10.
- Peter's equation, y = 13/4x, signifies that he walks at a speed of 13/4 miles per hour.
- A graph showing the relation can be modeled with the equation y = 7/2x.
- Roni incorrectly wrote the equation as y = x + 7/25; it should have been y = 7/25x to maintain a constant quotient between x and y.
- A fruit stand charges $4.00 for 8 ounces of blueberries, leading to the equation y = 0.5x, expressing the cost per ounce.
- Joylin's first error in modeling the cost of downloading videos was switching the numerator and denominator while calculating the constant of proportionality, k.
- Harry's soccer team has a ratio of 2 nonconference games for every 3 conference games, modeled by the equation y = 2/3x.
