What is the Constant of Proportionality? 

100

Maya biked 5/6 mile in 1/3 hour.
What is her speed in miles per hour?

 

5/2 miles per hour or 2 1/2 miles per hour or 2.5 miles per hour

200

The coordinate point on any proportional graph that shows the Constant of Proportionality.

What is (1,k) or (1, CP)?

200

Is this equation proportional? Explain why or why not.


y= 4x + 10 

Not proportional because the equation shows addition and proportional relationships are multiplicative only. 

200

Is this a graph of a proportional relationship? Explain why or why not.

No, because the graph does not start at the origin.

200

When one quantity is multiplied by a constant value to calculate a second quantity.

What is a proportional relationship?

200

It takes Bart 10 minutes to finish writing "I will not talk in school" 30 times.  How long would it take him to "I will not talk in school" 90 times?.

It will take Bart 30 minutes.

300

what are 3 ways to tell if a graph is proportional

(Need to get all 3 for full points)

if the line is straight and diagonal

goes through the origin 



300

Is this equation proportional? Explain why or why not. 

y= ¾ x

proportional 

k= 3/4

300

Does this table show a proportional relationship? Explain why or why not. 

No, because there is not a constant rate. 

300

All proportional relationships can be represented with this equation. 

What is y=kx?

300

The two quantities in the proportional relationship.


What is "Earth weight" and "Moon Weight"?

400

Is this graph proportional? Explain why or why not.


Yes the graph is proportional because for every 1 hour the total cost is $50.

400

Write an equation for this situation:

Elena jogged at a constant speed. She ran 3 laps in 5 minutes. Write an equation where d represents distance in laps and represents time in minutes.

d = 0.6 or  d = (3/5)t

t = 1.66d  or  t = (5/3)d

400

Is the table proportional? Explain why or why not. 


Yes, it is proportional and the CP is 9. 

400

The coordinate point on a graph that all proportional relationships must go through.

What is (0,0)?

400

Sarah is training for a 5K (3.1 miles) run. She decides to track her progress by recording the time it takes her to run different distances. After running 1 mile, she completes it in 8.5 minutes.

If her time is proportional to the distance she runs, how long would it take her to run the 5k at that constant pace?

26.35 minutes

500

Is this graph proportional? Explain why or why not.

No because the graph does not start at the origin. 

500

Write an equation for this situation AND answer the question.
