<em>If the rate is a constant, the relationship is proportional.</em> (The rate is the constant of porportionality.)
_____
For two or more points on the function curve, divide the dependent variable value by the independent one. If you get the same result in every case, the relationship is porportional.
___
<em>Note</em>
For some non-proportional relationships, it is possible to find points on the graph that will pass the above test. If you suspect the relationship is actually not one of proportionality, try more points. Check also to make sure that (0, 0) is on the curve.
3 pounds = 1.5 kilograms
so 9 pounds = 1.5 * 3 = 4.5 kilograms
You are given
a distance of 20 kilometers and time of 30 minutes. You are required to find
for the speed of the travelling object. The equation for speed is distance over
time. Speed is a scalar quantity. It tells you the direction of the travelling object.
The solution in this problem is,
Speed =
distance/time
Speed = 20
kilometers / 30 minutes
<u>Speed =
2/3 kilometers per minute or 0.667 kilometers per minute</u>
<span>Therefore,
the speed of the object is 0.667 km per minute.</span>
Answer:
I think 3/4 will be the answer if you let
(-5 2) =(x1 y1)
(3 8) =( x2 y2)
y1-y2/x2-x2
8-2/3+5
6/8
3/4
