Answer:
yes, they are proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion is a relation that can be modeled by a straight line through the origin. The equation will have the form ...
y = kx
where x is the independent variable, y is the dependent variable, and k is a constant of proportionality.
__
If you start with the equation relating distance, rate, and time:
d = rt
and you fix the time at 50 seconds, then the equation becomes ...
d = 50t
This is the equation of a proportion with a constant of proportionality of 50. It tells you the distance run is proportional to the rate you run. When this equation is graphed, it is a straight line through the origin.
