Question

Comparing Relationships with Tables1. Decide whether each table could represent a proportional relationship.If the relationship could be proportional, what would the constant ofproportionality be?a. How loud a sound is depending on how farDistance toaway you are.Listener (ft)Sound Level(dB)85791020407367Costb. The cost of fountain drinks at Hot Dog Hut.Volume(fluid ounces)($)$1.4920$1.59$1.8930

Answer 1

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y=kx

where

k is the constant of proportionality

Verify each table

table a

Let

x ----> distance

y ----> sound level

For each ordered pair calculate the value of k

k=y/x

so

(5,85) -----> k=85/5=17

(10,79) ----> k=79/10=7.9

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship

table b

let

x ----> volume

y ----> cost

k=y/x

(16,1.49) ----> k=1.49/16=0.093125

(20,1.59) ----> k=1.59/20=0.0795

the values of k are differents

that means

the table nor represent a proportional relationship
