Question

Please help me! If the ratio y/x is the same for all related pairs of x and y, what does that mean about the relationship between x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio y/x is the same for all related pairs of x and y, it means it represents a proportional relationship.

In other words, '$y$' varies proportionally with '$x$' or that '$y$'  is directly proportional to '$x$'.

When we say the ratio is the same, it means when '$x$'  increases, '$y$' increases and as  '$x$' decreases,  '$y$' decreases

Using the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

Where 'k' is the proportionality constant.
