Proportional Relationships Practice

Worksheet illustration

Task 1: Test the Tables

Reference: To test a proportional relationship, (1) calculate y/x, (2) check that the rate is constant, and (3) check that the relationship includes the origin, (0, 0).

1. Decide whether each table represents a proportional relationship. Show each calculation of y/x and explain your decision using equivalent ratios and a constant unit rate.

Table A   x: 2, 4, 6    y: 5, 10, 15

Table B   x: 1/2, 1, 3/2    y: 3/4, 3/2, 9/4

Justification: Table ______ is proportional because ________________________________________________.

Task 2: Find the Constant and Equation

2. The table shows the number of pounds of apples, x, and the cost in dollars, y.

x: 4, 8, 12     y: 10, 20, 30

Find the constant of proportionality, k = y/x, and write an equation in the form y = kx.

k = ____________     Equation: __________________________

Explain how the table shows that the ratios are equivalent and the unit rate is constant.

Task 3: Match Situations to Equations

3. Match each situation to its equation. Write the equation letter beside each situation. Then identify which situations are proportional.
A. y = 4x
B. y = 1.5x
C. y = 3x + 15
_____ A worker earns $4 for each hour worked.
_____ A ribbon is 1.5 feet long for each gift.
_____ A taxi charges $15 plus $3 per mile.

The proportional situations are __________________________________________ because __________________________________________.

Task 4: Interpret a Coordinate Graph

4. A coordinate graph shows the following plotted points. Decide whether each graph represents a proportional relationship. Show the unit rate when possible and justify your answer using the origin and a straight line.

Graph A: The points (0, 0), (2, 6), (4, 12), and (6, 18) lie on one straight line.

Graph B: The points (0, 3), (2, 7), (4, 11), and (6, 15) lie on one straight line.

Final justification: Graph ______ is proportional because ________________________________________________. Graph ______ is not proportional because ________________________________________________.
