How can you show that two objects are proportional with a graph?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

So this is our table:

-----------------
x-values | a b c d e f |
-----------------
y-values | g h i j k l |
-----------------

You can know that the values in the table are proportional if:

$\frac{a}{g}=\frac{b}{h} =\frac{c}{i}=\frac{d}{j}=\frac{e}{k}=\frac{f}{l}$

Hope that helps :)

Not really, If you use the Pythagorean theorem on all problems related to distance.. You won't always be able to solve it. It depends on the numbers.

So, false.
