Question

This holiday weekend, Sue is going to Chicago to shop and to see a baseball game. To avoid traffic, Sue decides to take the train.
There is a proportional relationship between the time (in minutes) Sue spends riding the train, x, and the distance she travels (in miles), y

Answer 1

A proportional relationship is used to illustrate linear equations.

The constant of proportionality is 3

From the table, we have the following points:

(x,y) = (2,6) (3,9)

The constant of proportionality is calculated using:

$\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{m = \frac{9-6}{3-2}}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{m = \frac{3}{1}}$

Divide

$\mathbf{m = 3}$

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 3
